Cloudette

Cloudette by Tom Lichtenheld is as uplifting a story as the classic Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper.

Cloudette is smaller than the other clouds. She mostly likes being small, but feels that she is missing out on some of the things the big clouds could do - like making storms, watering crops, and making rivers flow.

When one of the storms from the big clouds blows her out of her usual neighborhood she finds the chance to make a difference.

Lichtenheld's story and illustrations are beautiful. Also check out his book Duck! Rabbit!
