    Lisa wakes up one day and everything is in black and white. She enlists the help of her best buddy - Shadow - and off they go to Colorville to bring color back to her town. Each Rainbow Person she encounters gives her a token of that color: a red rose from Ronnie Redheart, an orange from Monsieur L'Orange, a sunflower from Marvin Garden and the Golden People, a patch of grass from Mr. Greenfield, a blue saxophone from Mrs. Blew, and a purple scarf from Lady Violet. Once Lisa has all the tokens, she is able to create a rainbow as her bridge back home. Set against a colorful backdrop, the subtext of embracing diversity and inclusion is a running theme throughout this delightful tale of the Rainbow People. Maureen Cronin is the author of two previous novels, Happy Brain, Happy Life and Go Faster Go. This is her first children's novel. Prompted by the children who loved her storytelling, Maureen put pen to paper and created Rainbow People. Her niece, Lauren Cronin, is one of the children who loved the story as a toddler, is the illustrator, bringing life to the characters in Maureen's imagination. Maureen is currently working on her next novel. Lauren is currently pursuing her master's in psychology at Binghamton University.

    "The Stuffed Animal" is the name of a small Victorian-style shop, belonging to a middle-aged woman, Miss Abigail Grace. Miss Grace has one abiding interest in life - finding stuffed animals and dolls at neighborhood yard sales, "rescuing" them and repairing them in her little shop.  She describes her shop as a "retirement home for dolls and teddies that were once the favorite toy of a small boy or girl." Early one Christmas Eve, Cindy Kim, now an adult, chances to meet Miss Grace on the street. Cindy inquires of her favorite childhood doll, Sabrina Ballerina. Cindy''s mom had put Sabrina in a yard sale, and had recalled Miss Grace buying Sabrina. Miss Grace remembers finding Sabrina and takes Cindy to her shop for a Christmas reunion with Sabrina. As she enters, Cindy meets Tommy, Susie and the other rescued dolls and teddies, and learns their stories. Then as Cindy and Sabrina are happily reunited, an uninvited crone, Vendetta Cage, enters the shop, sees and offers to buy Sabrina. When that fails, Ms. Cage undertakes to "steal" the doll. Happily, Ms. Cage''s plan is thwarted when she trips over Ms. Grace''s rather large sleeping dog, Furf (short for "Furface"), who had plopped down just inside the shop''s door. With Ms. Cage foiled, a Merry Christmas ensues for Cindy and Sabrina.
