Description

Like every other day, Noah Henry is getting ready to go to school until he is told by his parents that the school is closed. Sadly, the zoo is also closed, and he won’t be able to play with his little friends, either. The situation doesn’t change even when, after talking to his teacher, he and his younger brother wash their hands as they are told. Not until he goes out for a walk with his family does he notice that his friends have drawn rainbows and displayed them in their windows, realizing they also share the same uncertainty, and that hopefully soon they will all play together again.

  1. Sam Gross

    The drawings are exquisite.

    – Sam Gross, New Yorker Cartoonist

  2. Victoria Roberts

    Deana Sobel Lederman has the gift of writing for children with warmth and clarity and charm. Her drawings are the perfect counterpoint to her writing and in their simplicity bring to mind Jean de Brunhoff.

    – Victoria Roberts, New Yorker Cartoonist

  3. Alexa Ingram

    I could not share Noah Henry fast enough with my teachers and friends. Deana took unprecedented events and circumstances and portrayed them through the eyes of a child in a way I never could have done as a mom or an educator.

    – Alexa Ingram,  School District Administrator & Mama

  4. Robin Cogan

    There are still glimmers of brightness in very dark times. I came upon the uplifting story of Noah Henry and his love of rainbows, written and illustrated by Deana Sobel Lederman, on social media. The illustrations drew me into the story of one young boy’s quest to connect with his classmates during the pandemic. This colorful story will delight the readers with a hopeful message.
    – Robin Cogan, School Nurse

  5. Dr. Fabrice Jaumont

    Conceived during the “Great Pause,” Deana Sobel Lederman’s Rainbows, Masks, and Ice Cream trilogy brought us joy and a brilliant way to talk to our children about the virus. To be able to read these stories in our home language also meant they felt closer to our heart.
