Nimbus cloud loves life in the sky, peekabooing Sun and raining on Ground below. But soon other clouds want to join in the fun, and Nimbus isn't so sure they can play together: Cumulus is too silly and too loud, Cirrus does not listen, and Stratus always wants to touch! Nimbus knows the best way to play is alone, by yourself. Then why do they seem to want to be friends?

With a riotous celebration of clouds, author-illustrator Saki Tanaka reminds us that there is more than one way to make a friend.

Kai is used to following the seasons with Pa, from place to new place where people speak languages unfamiliar to his ears. When they finally settle in a valley full of pools, Kai tries to invite the other children to join in his play, but the strangeness of his words drives them away. Frustrated, he kicks his most treasured stone into one of the pools and in his search for it, finds something even more valuable.

Dive into a whimsical tale of unexpected friendship, told with compassion and warmth. With every brushstroke, Saki Tanaka paints a radiant world where bonds are formed beyond language barriers.
