Overview
What do Yellowstone’s Grand Prismatic Spring, Peru’s Vinicunca mountain, the star Betelgeuse, and a drop of water have in common? Rainbows! In this iridescent collection, Joyce Sidman, Nikki Grimes, Janet Wong, and seventeen other poets explore bursts of color across nature. Each selection explores a new rainbow—and not just the ones in the sky. In haiku, free verse, and other forms, the poets capture marvels like crystals, pilot glories, Gouldian finches, and marble caves. Acclaimed illustrator Jamey Christoph brings each rainbow to life in brilliant color and playful detail.
With dazzling language, luminous artwork, and fascinating science sidebars, A Universe of Rainbows is a mind-boggling tour of wonders big and small. From your own windowsill to Colombia’s Caño Cristales to the constellation Orion, rainbows are everywhere—in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
