Cleo the Cloud is an endearing story about feeling different and not quite enough.

☁️Cleo is a small fluffy cloud who feels she is not as interesting or as beautiful as the other clouds around her.

☁️Cleo ventures off across the sky to find another cloud just like her but what she learns on her journey is that even though she is small she is capable of making a difference and bringing about change.

☁️Bec Benini’s delightful and heartlifting illustrations reflect the changing colours of the landscape and night sky as little Cleo travels across the sky.

☁️Cleo the Cloud is a wonderful story that will help children embrace their differences and feel more confident in themselves.

Cleo the Cloud is available now to purchase through Amazon and Dymocks stores.
