“I Like Wearing Rainbows,” winner of the 28th Romeo Forbes Children’s Story Writing Competition, tackles significant themes through its vibrant artwork and sympathetic storytelling. The premise of writer Agay Llanera’s story is simple — a boy indulges in playing with his grandmother’s clothes. He pulls open his closet and picks from piles of clothing: a yellow skirt, a shimmery pink top, a ruffled purple dress. He wears them one by one, running and twirling in jovial innocence, while his grandmother sings and applauds.
