Reading Rainbow

"Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high. Take a look, it's in a book, a Reading Rainbow!"

Reading Rainbow was an educational children’s television series that aired on PBS starting in 1983 and ending in 2006.  The goal of the series was to inspire a love for books and reading among children.

Hosted by esteemed actor & philanthropist LeVar Burton, each episode presented new books or themes, read by the voices of some of the most talented actors, poets and artists of the time.

Reading Rainbow is a classic that had a hand in shaping a generation of adults today who still love reading ("But you don't need to take my word for it" - LeVar).

My design adapts the old Reading Rainbow logo (which was yellow in the 80’s) and looked like an open book. 

  • The set features LeVar Burton as he reads to a group of children
  • The 'Butterfly in the Sky', 'Sandcastle with the Dragon' and 'Astronauts in Space' are elements from the original animation for the theme song, "Butterflies in the Sky"
