"Answer to a Child's Question" is a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, a renowned English poet and philosopher. The poem explores the innocence and curiosity of a child, who asks their mother where a rainbow comes from. Coleridge's answer to the child's question is beautifully crafted, as he explains that the rainbow is a result of the sun's rays being refracted through raindrops in the air. This poem has been recorded by a team of volunteers at LibriVox and is available for listeners to enjoy. The work is part of a Weekly Poetry project for October 2013 and was summarised by Diana Majlinger.
