Description

A beach day. A stubborn cloud. A family's love and understanding.Alma and Max are eager for a day of sunshine and adventure. But a cloud begins to follow Mom, dimming her day. With empathy and playful hearts, the family reminds her that it's okay to not be okay, because clouds don't last forever.This whimsical picture book, for ages 4-8, validates the reality of hard days while celebrating the healing power of family presence. With its gentle approach to emotional wellness, it gives children the language to understand when someone they love is struggling, and shows them that sometimes, the best thing we can offer is simply being there.Includes discussion questions and caregiver resources for exploring big feelings together.

Critical Reviews

"The beach is healing and a fun family trip that maintains a sense of normalcy while a parent struggles is realistic in the challenges that many children face."

"the author provides questions in the back to further discussion on feelings, care, and compassion. It was a wonderful reading experience that promoted conversation. That's what reading is ALL about!"

"It can be difficult and overwhelming to talk about heavy topics like depression. This book utilizes a simple, yet powerful analogy of a cloud to help children process and understand depression. When children have information about what is happening in their world, they can cope better. This book is that---a way for children to understand a tough topic, giving them the starting point to process and cope."
