Cloudette by Tom Lichtenheld
Cloudette is the kind of character I really love. She's friendly, extra cute, helpful, shy, brave, and introspective. Tom Lichtenheld gives us a story filled with cuteness, silly banter, and an important life lesson - make the most of what you have.
The illustrations are fabulous. I especially liked the beginning of the book that offers a size comparison of little Cloudette and an average cloud using a grid.
Thanks to Cloudette and one of her nicknames - Shortcake - I was reminded of one of my favorite people in the world. Shortcake, you know who you are! Both are overflowing with super sweet cuteness. I wish I could have much more of both of them in my life!
Your elementary students will love Cloudette as much as I do. They will appreciate the silly banter and the subtle bewilderment Cloudette feels about finding her place in the world. I plan to share this beautiful book with my middle school students.
