Moonbow over Kentucky
I am so pleased that someone has finally written
about the Moonbow of
Cumberland Falls (January/February). I was first
introduced to the phenomenon in 1992 when
I found a delightful children's book by J. Patrick
Lewis. "The Moonbow of
Mr. B. Bones" has been a
favorite ever since. I'd read
it yearly to my fourth graders and it was always one
they'd ask to hear again
and again. Though writer
Joe Tennis gave a scientific
explanation for the bow, I
will always prefer Tommy
Morgan's: "There can be
no rain or fog. Just the cool
mist off the waterfall . . .
the sky must be as clear as
a glass jar."
The book's story and illustrations are beautiful.
Thanks again. I enjoy the
magazine every time but
this one especially. -Susie
