How to Catch a Rainbow is a colourful children’s picture book that follows Freya, a young girl who absolutely loves rainbows, their bright hues and curving arcs. When she wishes she could have one to keep forever, she sets off on a rainbow-hunting adventure. As rainbows prove elusive, Freya turns to her imagination and creativity to collect bits of colour from her surroundings and figure out her own way to catch a rainbow. The story celebrates curiosity, problem-solving and delight in nature, brought vividly to life with joyful illustrations by Ana Gómez.

How to Catch a Rainbow is one of her notable picture-book collaborations, featuring vibrant, technicolour visuals that complement Naomi Jones’s playful text. This book is one of her first illustrations for Oxford University Press and exemplifies her skill in making stories visually engaging for early readers.
