Cloudette: 11/25/18
Cloudette by Tom Lichtenheld is a picture book about a little cloud who wants to make her place in the world. She likes being small; it gives her a chance to squeeze into tight places; she can see all the best sites; but when it comes to making rain, she's too small for the job. At one point in the story, Cloudette is blown away from her friends while they are busy being storm clouds. She ends up in a dry spot with some very thirsty frogs. They're stuck in what used to be their pond. What Cloudette comes to realize is that even a small person can make a big difference — it's all a matter of scale. A refilled pond is a huge deal to the creatures who live there. A brief storm to children looking to escape the summer heat is as well. Cloudette is a good book for anyone looking for inspiration on a personal, small scale. Not everyone can have the effect of giant storm cloud but they can do something. Four stars Comments (0)
