Lizzy and the Cloud

A girl and her cloud. Lizzy purchases an ordinary cloud form the cloud dealer in the park one Saturday morning. She follows all the rules in the manual. She gives him a name- Milo, she waters him daily however she forgets the most important rule of all. Never confine a cloud to a small space. In time Lizzy knows she must let Milo soar free. A sweet story about friendship. The illustrations are mostly black and white except for the color yellow- the color of Lizzy's rainboots.

A story that teaches the meaning of the old adage, "If you love someone, let them go." A little girl buys a sort of pet cloud. She takes good care of the cloud and it outgrows her bedroom. Instead of keeping it cooped up and unhappy, she releases it into the big sky.

A wonderful story with fabulous illustration. Just right for the tale. I loved it and shared it with the Cloud Appreciation Society. I'm sure they will be delighted with it!

Beautifully illustrated and lovely story

Lovely old-fashioned setting, art, concept. Plus I am amused that GoodReads is unable to work with "The Fan Brothers" as author, despite Library of Congress CIP info.
