Clouds in the sky, clouds on the ground
A free-spirited cloud yearns to stroll through the valley. Even if it transforms into vapor, condenses into raindrops, or shatters into countless pieces, nothing can deter its desire to explore. Its journey is destined to be breathtaking: from cloud to rain, encountering trees, grass, and caterpillars, merging with the soil, and then rising again from the earth.
This story presents the water cycle from sky to earth and back again from the perspective of a cloud. The writing is beautiful and philosophical, the illustrations delicate and refreshing, imbued with a misty, watery atmosphere that soothes every reader.
