🌈 Rainbows!

Have you ever seen a rainbow? Sometimes you see them in the sky after rain. Other times you might see them in a drawing or painting. Sometimes you see them inside houses, when bright light passes through a crystal prism! I like rainbows because they're pretty and colorful. How many different colors can you see in the rainbow at the right? To be exact, rainbows have seven different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. This month, we'll have fun with rainbows -- you'll even learn how to make one out of pipecleaners at home!

Percy's Tip for Grown-Ups: Does your little have more questions about how rainbows are made? Check out the kid-friendly resources at UCAR, sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

Percy's watching...

Iguaçu Falls

Why? Because it has a place called "The Great School of the Rainbow!" In one of her trips in search of Viravento, Vivi arrives to the Iguaçu Falls. While there, Vivi and her friends will learn that growing up is a great challenge, but it can also be amazing.
