The story

It’s raining in Bramble Wood, and the big grey clouds have hidden all the colours. Pip wants the sun back NOW! But stomping in puddles won’t stop the rain, and racing up windmill hill only lands him in the mud.

With Bumble, Tilly, Sprout and Grandma Hoot, Pip finds out that good things are worth waiting for. When the sun finally peeps out, a giant rainbow appears, and children colour it one stripe at a time, from red to violet.
