Friends Are Like Rainbows

Help children understand that it doesn't matter what color, size or shape someone is. Anyone can be a good friend, given the chance—even someone who is very different from what a child may know.

What's more, good friends, like rainbows, can appear at unexpected times and unusual places and can bring great beauty into our lives.

Comparing friendship and rainbows, this children's poem helps young readers understand that friends can come in any shape, size, or color.

You can have friends who are tall, short, and small.

Having different kinds of friends makes your heart joyous overall.

It's great to see colorful rainbows show up above the ground.

They capture your imagination when nobody's around.
