Maisy's Rainbow Dream
by
Lucy Cousins
This is a large and exuberant picture book, in which Maisy Mouse lies fast asleep in her bed, dreaming that she is on a journey with her friends.
On each page they come across different, brightly-coloured objects or creatures (including red ladybirds, orange fish and a blue clock), until, finally, they arrive in Rainbowland. Lucy Cousins' bold and riotously colourful trademark illustrations make the story memorable and enormous fun.

Maisy, the famous mouse, 'drew herself' one day, when Lucy was doodling various animals on a piece of paper, looking for inspiration, and the first Maisy book was published soon after Lucy left college. Lucy won the Bologna Ragazzi Non-fiction Prize 1997 for Maisy's House and has been Highly Commended for the National Art Illustration Award 1997 for Za Za's Baby Brother, images from which were also used in a publicity campaign by Tommy's, the baby's charity. Jazzy in the Jungle won the Smarties Book Prize in 2002. Hooray for Fish!, published in 2005, is a celebration of life under the sea.
