“For anyone who’s ever tried to outrun their emotions, The Cloud That Stuck models how to embrace all that you are and all that you’re feeling—playfully and beautifully.” Liz Garton Scanlon, Author of Caldecott-honored All the World
"This wonderful picture book can help readers turn their ‘clouds’ into gardens and rainbows by accepting the help of others and by choosing positive reactions.” Lesley Roessing, Literacy Specialist and Author of Talking Texts
I’m honored by this advanced praise for THE CLOUD THAT STUCK from two people I admire.
BTW, the photo is mine. The sky can be so dramatic sometimes, and these storm clouds fit with our book, which is expressively illustrated by @doroleung.bsky.social. Coming from @charlesbridge.bsky.social in April.
