Noah Henry: A Rainbow Story

Description

Like every other day, Noah Henry is getting ready to go to school until he is told by his parents that the school is closed. Sadly, the zoo is also closed, and he won’t be able to play with his little friends, either. The situation doesn’t change even when, after talking to his teacher, he and his younger brother wash their hands as they are told. Not until he goes out for a walk with his family does he notice that his friends have drawn rainbows and displayed them in their windows, realizing they also share the same uncertainty, and that hopefully soon they will all play together again.
