What makes a rainbow in the sky?
A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc.

About the book...
The sun and clouds have always been the best of friends and together they tend to their beloved earth. United they create colourful, magical rainbows that are a wonder to behold and their favourite thing to do.
But one day they have a dispute... well actually sad to say, it is a fight, which results in a parting of ways. Each goes to his own corner of the sky and refuses to make up. Oh my!
As a result the colours fade from the earth leaving everything a dull grey colour and sadly the happiness of life dissipates too. The whole world is drab and dreary and very depressing... colourless.
But all is not lost. In a lone classroom there is one abandoned box of crayons, seven in all, who manage to wiggle their way out of their confined desk and succeed in igniting the world with spectacular colours once again. Hurray!!!
They get their points together and devised a plan to draw rainbows all over the world which at first make little difference. Then they create one so BIG, and BOLD and BEAUTIFUL that the sun and clouds can't help but notice. Will the crayon's idea work? Will the sun and the clouds be reunited and go back to colouring the world and making people happy once again?
