Sheffield Children’s Book Awards Winner 2024! A strikingly-designed early learning die-cut board book introducing colors and a fabulous new character—the Rainbow Snail! Karin Åkesson’s beautiful artwork and easy-to-read text combine to create a wonderfully interactive book to teach toddlers colors and a charming read-aloud children’s book for ages 0–2 and up. Stick with the snail as it journeys through colorful surroundings, from black to the boldest colors of the rainbow!

Blue like the raindrops. Green like the soft grass. Yellow like the warm sun. This is the story of how the rainbow snail came to be. It takes sun and rain to make a rainbow, and what better combination of colors could there be?
 
The Rainbow Snail was the winner in the Toddler Book category, and Overall Winner of the Sheffield Children’s Book Award 2024. Its educational appeal, as young readers follow a brave little creature’s exciting adventure while learning the colors of the rainbow, will make this a popular picture book with educators, librarians, and parents. It makes a lovely newborn gift to help build a collection of baby books for the expecting parents’ nursery library. As with all of Boxer Books’ titles, this baby book has an inventive but classic theme that children and adults can enjoy together.
