BOOK RECOMMENDATION!
Read our feature story here on Rainbow Mosho!
Inspiration. Hope. Bravery. Teen Author and Artist, Rainbow Mosho, shares her wisdom with us about being an artist and author with autism and how this diagnoses does not define her but rather challenges her to become even more bold, communicative, and inspiring through her attitude, her bravery, and her generosity as she leads the way for others to follow and find their own path to inner peace and hope. Thank you Rainbow, for bringing so much hope and light into our lives this holiday season. Learn how Rainbow expanded on the alphabet by adding her own artistic touch to it with some playful alliteration and combinations of characters that made learning so much easier for her.
Check out her book, Rainbow Rabbit Meets Oracle The Alphabet Creature.

Today I am so excited to be expanding our change-maker directory to include youth that inspire through their bravery and perseverance when taking life’s challenges and turning them into gifts that inspire others. Rainbow Mosho is making a big mark on the world using all the colours of the rainbow and we are so thrilled to include her in the company of fellow change-makers.
We hope you enjoy Rainbow’s story and are so happy to introduce you to such a gift to our youth. She is one to be followed on social media and even booked (when things open up!) to visit your classroom, or library, or possibly to be booked from other parts of the world for a digital visit – she definitely won’t disappoint and will inspire any youth who is fortunate enough to make her acquaintance.
