A gentle story, told with warmth & whimsy, about sunshine, sadness, and the way love helps us heal.Alma & Max are ready for the beach, their buckets packed, imaginations running wild, & waves waiting. But Mom discovers a quiet cloud followed her, making her feel heavy & tired.
Through play, patience, & love, the kids encourage Mom to rest, while still being a part of the adventure. The cloud doesn’t vanish, but it begins to lighten, & so does Mom.
This story is perfect for any child (or grown-up) learning to support someone they love through big feelings.
