A splendid ode to longing for belonging and acceptance and to ultimately finding happiness through purpose. Originally published in Great Britain under the title Cyril the Lonely Cloud, the rain cloud wishes to bring smiles but is always greeted with wishes for the cloud to go away. A journey through the water cycle brings Sidney to a land, hot and dry, where the inhabitants finally welcome the arrival of Sidney’s shade and cooling rain.
Ageless and timeless, as are most of the very best picture books out there, the calm meter and superbly executed collage of whimsical images lend themselves perfectly to bedtime as we drift off to sleep with Sidney the once lonely but now happy cloud.
Available through our local @midyorklibrarysystem, @fourcountylibrarysystem, and hopefully through yours, too!
