Rainbow Stew

Rainbow Stew follows three young African American children who spend a rainy summer day with their grandfather, splashing through his backyard garden in their rain gear to harvest a glorious rainbow of colorful vegetables — green beans, yellow peppers, purple cabbage, red tomatoes, orange carrots — and then cook them all up together into a big steaming pot of Grandpa's famous Rainbow Stew.

Cathryn Falwell's vibrant multimedia collage art brings the garden and kitchen to joyful life, and the book ends with a recipe for readers to try at home. This is a wonderful choice for students because it celebrates family togetherness, healthy eating, colors, and the joy of growing and cooking food together — making it ideal for literacy, science, and nutrition lessons.
