The vibrant and inspiring story of beloved singer and fierce activist Cyndi Lauper.

Before Cyndi Lauper was the larger-than-life icon we know today, she was a boisterous little girl who had a hard time fitting in. But she knew she had something amazing to share with the world. She just needed to figure out how.

So one day, Cyndi set off to find her own voice, bopping from place to place and trying out all kinds of jobs along the way. Though she faced many challenges and encountered people who didn’t understand her particular shine, she never dimmed her light and always had music in her heart.

Cyndi went on to share her powerful songs with the world and become a passionate advocate for any person who didn’t quite fit in. She let people know it’s okay to be different, and that you should never, ever be afraid to show your true colors!

Like a Rainbow by Amy Guglielmo and Jacqueline Tourville beautifully captures the essence of Cyndi’s journey and remains an inspiring tale of resilience and authenticity.
