FRESNO, Calif., May 6, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rainbows have always been a sign of beauty. In the Bible, God made a rainbow appear after the Great Flood as a promise of a new day. Its vibrant colors always reminded everyone of happiness, hope, peace and love. Come along with author Edmund Armbrister, Jr. as he takes you into a world with the same warmth and magic as he brings an endearing tale of a father's great love for his daughter in Thomas and Samantha: The Story of the Cloud and the Rainbow.
This fairy tale tells us of woodcutter Thomas and his beautiful eighteen-year-old-daughter Samantha as they lived peacefully in a quiet village. He was in his mid-forties; tall and slim and his eyes were cheerful and bright. She was a very good seamstress; her singing voice was as lovely as her work and she had a smile as lively as her father's. One day, Samantha went missing and Thomas did whatever he could to find his daughter.
Thomas and Samantha: The Story of the Cloud and the Rainbow is a very touching tale of love and determination. Also painted with amazingly vibrant and colorful illustrations exceedingly close to animation, this heartwarming tale seems to spring out to life, sending an inspiring message to both young and old alike.
