Hopefully your kids’ bookshelf has space for one more story this spring, as this is one that will inspire them to reach for all of their wildest dreams.
On March 5, co-anchor of NBC’s TODAY show Hoda Kotb will release her new children’s picture book called Hope Is a Rainbow.Â
The mother of two’s new book will celebrate the power of optimism and positivity. It delivers a message on the importance of hope as a tool for young children, as studies have shown that higher levels of hope can help to lower levels of stress hormones and reduce feelings of anxiety.
However, Hope Is a Rainbow honors the childlike wonder and curiosity that exists in everyone, not just kids. The book is filled with beautiful and colorful illustrations by Chloe Dominique, an Illustrator and Concept Artist based in England.
Kotb is already a No. 1 New York Times best-selling author of seven books, including You Are My Happy, I’ve Loved You Since Forever, Where We Belong, Ten Years Later: Six People Who Faced Adversity and Transformed Their Lives, Hoda: How I Survived War Zones, Bad Hair, Cancer and Kathie Lee, I Really Needed This Today, and This Just Speaks to Me.
At $19.99, Kotb’s book will be published by Flamingo books, which is an imprint of Penguin Young Readers, and is perfect for little readers ages 4 and up.
