Description
A beautiful day is dawningbut everyone except Little Cloud is too busy to notice. A lush and emotional picture book about curiosity, exploration, and being present, from the creator of A Spark in the Dark and When the Fog Rolls In. For fans of Beth Ferry and Tom Lichtenfeld.
A clouds job is to make storms. And that is what they love to do. All except one, that is. Little Cloud would much rather take a moment to enjoy the view of the world below. The farmer is whistling, the piglets are having a snack, the bees are buzzing, ducks waddling, and stream babbling. But NONSENSE, thunders Big Gray Cloud. Theres no time for that. Big Gray Cloud and the others are so busy getting ready to storm that they never notice the sun coming out until it scatters them.
With expressive characters and lush scenery, Pam Fong delivers a beautiful picture book with compelling social and emotional hooks. The Little Cloud encourages us to stay curious and be present, find delight in what others may overlook, and make the most out of each day.
Reviews
Many readers will relate; this is a simple but effective read-aloud that makes lovely use of visual storytelling. A ray of sunshine for those youngsters who, like our protagonist, know what truly matters. Kirkus Reviews
