Rainbow Kite

Written by Kelly Bennett

Illustrated by K.M. Brown

Published by Young Dragons

ISBN-13: ‎978-1633739338

Synopsis: Dare to be different. Dare to fly.

Lulu wasn't planning to go outside-until that strange little kite showed up.

It was plain. A little ragged. Definitely lost. But when Lulu tried to reel it in, it didn't act like any kite they'd ever seen. It tugged like a scrappy pup, soared like a runaway train, spun into a flouncy party hat, then sailed off like a pirate ship.

As Lulu chases it through the neighborhood, imagination takes flight and catches the attention of other kids, curious and unsure. What begins as one child's game becomes something more-a spark for creativity, self-expression, and joy that's impossible to pin down.

Rainbow Kite is a playful, empowering story about following your imagination wherever it leads-and the freedom that comes when you do.
