This fun and inventive picture book is pitched as a mystery thriller, with dazzling illustrations and an informational bent to boot...Vasanti Unka has packaged a simple concept — how rainbows occur — into a vibrant parcel of playfulness.
Otago Daily Times
There aren't many mystery thriller picture books, especially ones that provide subtle lessons on meteorology, science and forensics and do it all in vivid neon. But award-winning local writer/illustrator Vasanti Unka has achieved this with her latest humorous story about what makes a rainbow appear and disappear.
Dionne Christian and Zoe Gadd, Weekend Herald
A clever, quirky book for inquiring minds...Vasanti Unka is taking picture books somewhere special and different again.
Maria Gill, Kids Books NZ
Snappy illustrations and humour make this book about how rainbows are made accessible and fun for a younger audience.
