Rainbows During Lockdown
#rainbowsduringlockdown
During lockdown in March, Elizabete and Agnese (Year 7) completed a six-week Creative Writing Course hosted by R.A. Powell, a children’s author, which was streamed live on Facebook. As part of the course, they both also wrote stories, entitled The Rainbow Oracle (by Agnese) and The Darkest Of Them All (by Elizabete) to enter the Rainbow Writing Competition which the author ran during the summer. They also won the “Highly Commended” title.
Since then, alongside R.A. Powell and children from across England, Wales, Scotland & Australia, stories have been collated from the competition into a book entitled Rainbows During Lockdown; a collection of 58 rainbow-inspired tales written during lockdown by children as young as four, all the way up to 15 years old.
The book was released on Tuesday 15 December via Blossom Spring Publishing and will be available online at Amazon and Waterstones. 100% of the author’s royalties are being donated to ICUsteps and School-Home Support; they are aiming to raise as much as possible for these two fantastic charities that have worked so hard during Covid-19 to keep vulnerable people safe.
