A mythical journey of discovery into a cloud-capped world. Sundeep lives in the lowlands of a mountain range. One day he decides to climb the mountain on a quest to discover the whereabouts of his missing parents. There he uncovers a shocking secret - the mountain tops are inhabited by a strange folk who can sail in the clouds and are trying to find a less polluted place to live. As Sundeep learns from an old sage that he is descended from the mountain folk, he must make a difficult decision - to return home, or to stay on the mountain with his new-found love...This hauntingly illustrated prose poem is presented in a gorgeous gift format.
