My Story

 

My name is Nina and I'm a mother, teacher and children's book author. Little Rainbow Reads represents new and hopeful beginnings. 

​

I am passionate about empowering children in all aspects of life, especially through difficult situations. This led me to write my debut picture book called, Shine Down on Me. My book is a supportive resource for grieving children and their families. 

​

You are not alone in your grief journey. 

​

Sending you love,

Nina

"This story is so thoughtfully crafted to help children process and understand the emotions surrounding grief while offering a sense of hope. From the heartfelt dedication to the very first page, I found myself reaching for tissues. Grief is an incredibly difficult subject to address, especially with children, but this book does so in such a gentle and supportive way. The inclusion of hidden stars throughout the pages provides a lovely distraction from the heaviness of the topic, helping to balance the emotional weight. By the time I reached page 15, I had tears welling up—not from sadness alone, but from the overwhelming sense of hope it conveys. It truly is a remarkable book, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for guidance through this sensitive subject, whether it’s the loss of a loved one or even a pet."
