Rainbow brings a smile to the street
An East Kilbride tot is hoping to spread more positivity with a giant rainbow of hope.
Inspired by the nationwide ‘Clap for Carers’ tribute, three-yearold Gracie-Mae Boyland and her family created a colourful balloon cluster in the shape of a rainbow.
The youngster hopes her imaginative display, which stretches right across the Lindsayfield home, brings a smile to her community during this worrying and uncertain time.
Mum Emma told the News: “The ‘Clap for Carers’ tribute really fuelled positive vibes in our household.
“We must all pull together and help each other in any way, even if it’s just bringing a smile to someone’s face. Using balloons and our imagination we built Gracie-Mae’s rainbow of hope.
“Everyday since being in lockdown, we’ve tried to be creative and engage in meaningful play experiences, using our imagination. We hope Gracie-Mae’s rainbow of hope inspires others and we welcome the wonderful families in our estate, when out getting their once a day burst of fresh air to stop and smile at our rainbow.
“We appreciate the efforts of all key workers keeping our community and country alive and well.
“I think it says it all when Gracie-Mae, who is only three says, ‘it’s for all the boys and girls to smile because it’s beautiful’.”
