Official synopsis Publisher
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.
