I am a Rainbow craft

Have you heard of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library Program? The program provides free books to children from birth to age five no matter the family's income. I LOVE this! Reading is so important as children are developing and learning reading skills.

I have come across many of these books in local thrift stores. In fact, I found 10 in one trip alone! I started thinking how great it would be to create activities to go along with these books. I hope this can reach many families since the program benefits so many. If you don't receive the books, be on the look out! Or you can order the book "I am a Rainbow" by Dolly Parton.
