Meet Cloud! Follow along as she moves, transforms, precipitates, and more in this charming and humorous portrayal of the water cycle.
The lifecycle of our protagonist, Cloud, is delightfully and sparsely narrated in nine short chapters that follow the stages of the water cycle. Young readers will immediately fall for this wide-eyed puff, and welcome facts along with humor and personality as they bask in the accomplishment of breezing through each chapter."The science is serious, the explanations cheerful, and children will come away with a fairly extensive understanding of how clouds become clouds." --School Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW)
"An appealing introduction to the physical processes that water undergoes." --Publishers Weekly
"A breezy, buoyant bucketful of atmospheric basics." --Kirkus
Best Book of 2021 --School Library Journal
