“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.

From a Mountain Tea Garden to a Picture Book
by Wang Li On my North Carolina library’s new book shelf, a sturdy greenish cover caught my eye. Ah—it was translated from my mother tongue, Chinese! A rarity in the American children’s book market…
🍵🌄 From misty mountain tea-gardens to dreamy children’s books: discover how one family’s work in the hills found its way into art & story. A breathtaking reminder that home, nature & childhood memories belong in picture-books! #WorldKidLit #reading #kidlit
