Once there was a dream of a cloud, waiting, hiding, in a blue sky, which became a whisper of white and grew and grew . . . Everybody loves looking at the little white cloud as it makes all sorts of interesting shapes, but one day the little cloud becomes bigger and darker and heavier. As the raindrops patter down, everyone runs away and no one is happy to see the little cloud anymore . . . Or are they? This heartfelt, uplifting story has a powerful message about being loved and accepted for who you are, no matter what. A wonderful picture book for discussing emotions and a lovely introduction to the water cycle for children aged 3+ years.
