[back cover]
The rainbow has many colors, and each color is different from all the rest.

People are a little like colors of the rainbow because each of us is unique. The shape of ours eyes, the color of our skin, and even the foods we prefer are ways in which we are different. But in the most important ways, we are all very much the same. We all have feelings, thoughts, hopes, and dreams, we smile when we are happy and we cry when we are sad.

When people from all over the world get together, they create a wonderful image. It is the image of a rainbow. Because we are all human beings, we should celebrate our differences. So let’s all get together and build a rainbow!
