Gale is a cloud that loves to gaze down at earth, but she
can’t today because she has her cloud formation test. She was worried because she could never get
her formations right. Her cumulonimbus
cloud looked like an elephant and her cumulus cloud a sheep. Gale’s momma tells her that she knows that
she can do it. She stands before the
guardians and is asked to create a cumulous cloud and out comes a tugboat
shaped cloud and then a dog. She started
to rain. The guardians asked her more
about her cloud shapes and told her that she was a Daydream cloud and her job
was to make cloud “shapes the world can dream on.” The front cover calls the book “Pixar
Animation Studios Artist Showcase” and the illustrations definitely have the
unique, world-building feel of a Pixar movie.
The cloud characters are beautifully and distinctly drawn with muted
colors and great imagination. Picture
book readers and Pixar fans alike will find much to love in this sweet daydream
of a story.
