A small boy imagines what it would be like to have his own rainbow to play with.
關於作者：
Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. At an early age,
he received a trumpet as a gift from his father. He practiced
obsessively and eventually joined a California dance band. After
graduating from high school, he ventured to New York City to study art
under the tutelage of Joan Sloan and Harry Wickey at the Art Students''
League. He managed to support himself throughout his schooling by
playing his trumpet evenings, in nightclubs and at weddings.
Gradually, he eased into making a living sketching impressions of Broadway shows for The New York Times and The Herald Tribune.
This shift was helped along, in no small part, by a rather
heartbreaking incident: he lost his trumpet. One evening, he was so
engrossed in sketching people on the subway, he simply forgot it was
sitting on the seat beside him. This new career turned out to be a
near-perfect fit for Don, though, as he had always loved the theater.
He was introduced to the world of children’s literature when William
Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. Soon after, he began to
write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably
and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own
theater: "I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of what''s
next. Ideas just come at me and after me. It''s all so natural. I work
all the time, long into the night, and it''s such a pleasure. I don''t
know when the time ends. I''ve never been happier in my life!"
