The story has a wonderful theme and is sure to be a hit. In a world that so often celebrates the individual and the illusionary power of me over us, this story portrays the real beauty and power of cooperation, of maintaining our personal freedom and identity yet multiplying our strengths and capacity through diversity, of the difference between a singular color and the mosaic of a rainbow. Our world needs more voices like this author’s. Jeanine, keep up the great beauty of your voice.
