Clare was excited about her outdoor birthday party. Her mom reminded her that she had to share her party with her brother because he also had a birthday coming up as well. Meanwhile high up in the sky Misty the Cloud was also celebrating her birthday. As Misty and her friends went outside to play water games the water from their games made it start to rain. Misty and her cloud friends drifted over to where sunbeams were playing. They asked them to play somewhere else. They both wanted to play their own games. Both the clouds and the sunshine started arguing. In the end, can they find a compromise and work together to create a beautiful spectacle in the sky?
The illustrations are very cute and colorful. I can see little girls eating this book up. I don't see it appealing to boys. The friends that attend her birthday party are quite diverse showing different racial backgrounds including a boy in a wheelchair. I love how at the back of the book it gives many science weather concepts and how rain and rainbows are created.
