a book for young and old

This children's book is a beautifully crafted and illustrated book that teaches lessons about honesty, friendship, and loyalty. The story takes place in "The Gap" where a new kid in town destroys the reputation of an old man's traveling business (he sells magic potions, beeswax, balls of string, and wooden spoons). The man redeems his reputation (but never returns to The Gap) when he creates a Moonbow above the town river by pouring his last bottle of Moonbows at the base of a waterfall on his way out of town. The new kid realizes his mistake, and the end of the book notes that Moonbows are real occurences in Cumberland Falls, KY--people from far and wide still come to see them.
