One rainy afternoon, Hadleigh spies a rainbow.
He heads off outside to see if he can catch it. No matter
how hard he tries, it always seems to be out of reach. He asks his mum to come
and help him. But, no matter how many times or how high they jump, neither of
them can catch it. Hadleigh asks other people to help. Then Dad comes up with
an amazing idea.
Will it work? Will they catch the rainbow?
Ann Keane (right) is a first-time children’s author and
illustrator.
Born and raised in Hawke’s Bay, Ann was brought up reading
stories written by A.A.Milne, Enid Blyton, Beatrix Potter and the Brothers
Grimm. As a child she adorned all of her work with pictures of fairies and
toadstool houses – until she was told that although her pictures were
beautiful, they should relate to the text!
When Ann was still at primary school, at the age of 10, one
of her watercolours was framed and hung in the staff room until she left for
College. Ann’s first art tutor at Wairoa College was Rodney Wilson, later, Director at the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
Ann has two sons and lives with her husband near
Helensville. Her home overlooks the Kaipara Harbour and enjoys inspirational
views, even on a stormy day.
