The Rainbow Stick Boy by Michael Santolini is an inspiring story that teaches young readers to accept others for who they are on the inside.
"In a village called Chromaville lived stick people who were always born one solid color," but when the Biv family had their baby he was a mix of all the colors. Even though their son, Huey, was different they loved him just the same. Other stick families questioned why Huey was so different. Huey found it difficult to make friends and often times he felt sad and alone. Sometimes he even tried to hide his colors so others would accept him. Huey longed to fit in. One day while on a walk Huey met Rae. Rae was a magical orange stick girl and never questioned Huey's rainbow colors. They became very good friends. Rain begins to fall in Chromaville. It rained and rained and rained and soon everyone's colors begin to fade. Huey was worried about his friend, Rae and set out to find her, but instead he discovers the beauty within himself.
The Rainbow Stick Boy is a heartfelt tale of a special boy who, although different from others, has something very special to offer the world.
The lesson found within The Rainbow Stick Boy is timeless. Learning to accept others without judgement is one that will make our world a better place.
