Today show cohost and bestselling author Hoda Kotb’s new book, Hope is a Rainbow, is a lyrical celebration of hope in children and teaching the youngest readers how to reach for their dreams – whether they are as big as the night sky or as small as a bowl of purple ice cream. It’s a lesson in optimism and what a positive outlook can bring. It’s a story that honors the childlike wonder and curiosity that exists in all of us, young and old. In partnership with Theodore’s Books of Oyster Bay.
