Can You Smell the Rainbow - Hardcover

The book follows Lukas, a young boy who is preparing for an operation. Understandably, he is scared about going to the hospital and waking up during the procedure. His mother reassures him by introducing him to the concept of “Rainbow Medicine”—a magical idea that turns anesthesia into something special. She explains that doctors use a machine to capture the smell of rainbows and use it as medicine to help him sleep during the operation.

On the day of his surgery, Lukas is no longer afraid—he is excited to discover what a rainbow smells like. The story ends with Lukas whispering the answer to his mother, leaving readers with a sense of wonder and comfort.
