Advanced praise for THE CLOUD THAT STUCK!
I just received a great review of THE CLOUD THAT STUCK, written by me & illustrated by @doroleung.bsky.social! Here's what Kirkus Reviews said:
"A young girl is troubled by an annoyingly persistent cloud.... A heartwarming and convincing tale for kids seeking to ride out life’s rainclouds."
