From a brave tiger, through to a dancing river and over to the forest filled with oak trees, to rainbows that appear after the rain has gone and swooping swallows who are a welcome sight; children, and adults too, will cherish this stunning bedtime book that holds meaning for so many different reasons.So let Rachel guide you through the natural world and explain why there is beauty in everything around you, and why YOU hold beauty within yourself too. Sometimes we all need to be reminded about self confidence, learning to love ourselves and how special we all are.
