Rainbow Bill: A Cautionary Tale for Rascals

By Adam Pecoraro and Rebecca Pecoraro

What happens when a little rascal pushes mischief too far?

He catches a case of the Rainbow Pox-a colorful, itchy reminder that actions have consequences

Meet Rainbow Bill: vase-breaker, veggie-thrower, and master fibber. But when strange spots start popping up on his skin-green for nose-picking, red for angry outbursts, white for little white lies-Bill realizes he's coming down with something very peculiar. The diagnosis? A serious case of the Rainbow Pox

There's no medicine for this mystery illness-only a change of heart. With help from a wise doctor (and a growing rainbow of spots), Bill embarks on a hilarious and heartfelt journey from rascal to role model.

This funny and imaginative picture book is perfect for:

Kids who love silly stories with a messageParents and teachers teaching positive behavior, emotions, and personal responsibilityFans of books about consequences, manners, and social-emotional learningBedtime stories that inspire giggles and growth

Ideal for ages 4-9, Rainbow Bill combines playful rhymes, vibrant illustrations, and an unforgettable lesson-each misstep turning into a teachable (and colorful ) moment.

The Story Behind the Story:

This modern retelling is based on a childhood bedtime tale Rebecca Pecoraro made up to entertain her little brother-complete with silly voices and zany lessons. Now, together with her husband Adam, she's brought the story to life with fun new twists for today's kids (yes, even screen time ).

Whether you've got a tiny troublemaker or a curious kid learning right from wrong, Rainbow Bill is a must-have for your bookshelf.
