BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
One blustery day, the wind blows a cloud over Tansy's head, blocking the sun. She does everything she can think of to get rid of it, but it stays. Her dad, best friend, and teacher try to help, but it won't budge. Then the cloud begins to rain on Tansy and she forgets what sunshine feels like. She finally decides to put on rainboots and carry an umbrella. She looks for things like flowers that need rain. What if the raincloud never goes away?
The Cloud That Stuck uses Tansy's persistent cloud as a metaphor for mental health challenges. Krossing's text encourages readers to find ways to live with problems rather than to get rid of them, highlighting self-acceptance. Leung's gentle illustrations show the light and dark emotions of mental issues.
