Plump, clumsy Lily is miserable in fifth grade where bullies torment her on the playground and in class because she has two mothers. Across the room Clara sits still as a statue, never volunteering or raising her hand, answering only in whispers with her head down to avoid curious eyes, keeping her family’s secret that she has two fathers. One girl with two out-loud-and proud moms, another with in-the-closet dads. What could go wrong, right?

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Heart Warming & Unpredictable! By sailorrun Riding the Rainbow is a heart-warming read, filled with all the trials and tribulations of pre-adolescence. It is equal parts social commentary and equal parts the story of a little (well-loved) girl’s courage. Lily tries to understand the prejudices of adults around her, faces school bullies, grapples with her poor eyesight, and struggles to accept how her family is different, all the while stumbling her way towards the secrets of real happiness: being true to yourself. Happy and sad surprises hide behind every page. Throughout the story I felt like Lily’s third mom, rooting for this strong little girl to claim her place in the imperfect world.Genta doesn’t shy away from showing the brutal reality of prejudice, but she also doesn’t shy away from highlighting the goodness in people’s hearts. She has a way of writing that adds depth to every character that enters the story, no matter how brief a time they are present. I can picture vividly the earnest, yet sad, Charlie, whom Lily meets briefly at the pancake breakfast. I wish I could have a conversation with Mrs. Bluestone over a bowl of ice cream at Bluestone’s Confectionary, because she seems like just the sort of kind, worldly woman who would have an answer, and ice cream flavor, for every heartache. I grimaced at every encounter Lily had with the “preps” of her 5th grade class, and with no effort could imagine the superficial and mean-spirited Jenna, surrounded by her entourage.A great book, and I highly recommend it!

Being a young girl in a rainbow family is not easy By Mary Wright Riding The Rainbow by Genta Sebastian is an inspiring, lovely read: it celebrates the innocence and pain of a fifth grade girl who is bullied and friendless in a small town because she has two mothers. Having been bullied as a grade schooler myself, I could really relate to the anxiety and lack of self-esteem Lilly feels in the beginning. At a birthday sleepover her classmates torment her past her endurance and she runs away. Just at this point when she hits bottom, Lily begins to have hope because of a kind adult who befriends her and because of the loving support of her family when they realize what is happening. Then she makes a friend her age who is in the same kind of family. I liked the way the author contrasts her new friend’s family, who is not out, with Lily’s mothers and her, who are. Lily learns how hard it is to lie to everyone and eventually her friend’s family develops a new awareness too. A very sweet and true to life story. It provides good role models and does not sugar-coat the difficulties of being part of a rainbow family, but also celebrates how rich that experience can be.

By Judy Comella If you are looking for a book that explains the trials and tribulations a young adult faces when having 2 Mother's this is the book! This book is so well written with explanations of not just the youth side of things but also those of the 2 Mothers. The child in this book faces bullying from school mates as well as some in the community and then one day finds someone who is almost exactly like her except the "new friend" has 2 Fathers.This book covers both the story regarding the bullying that goes on but also delivers the feelings of both sets of parents as they see the torment and cruelty deliver by school mates who pretend to be friends with both girls. The book also deals with the girls "new" found friendship and with the school administrators who refuse to see what is happening and take the proper action.I recommend this book to anyone who is studying child development, perhaps a social worked or school guidance consular. It's a great read for everyone and deserved to win a Golden Crown Literary Society Award this year at the conference.
