Review

This is a lovely tale about Olga, a puffy little cloud that is trying to find a place to rest, then a place to disperse a bit of rain. Of course, no one wants her around and she despairs of ever finding a place where she can do what she is meant to do. The illustrations are especially appealing and add a lot to the story. Olga sees lots of things from on high and all the colorful activity will be fun for little readers to peruse. The lesson here is that each of us will eventually find the place that we are most comfortable and accepted. I would recommend this book, especially as a read-aloud as the text is a big advanced for the intended audience.

Overall Book Score: very good
