Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Eoin Colfer, New York Times best-selling author of the Artemis Fowl series, pens a warm, empathy-building story based on illustrator Chris Judge's family's experience with childhood illness.
Six-year-old Erin's favorite game is spotting animals in the clouds with her mom and dad--everything from fluffy foxes and polar bears to little rabbits. Even when Erin falls very ill and has to spend a long time in the hospital, she still manages to find joy in spying "cloud babies" through the window with her new hospital friends. When the doctor tells Erin she can go home, she is so excited! But being back at school is not at all what she expected--so much has changed, and Erin must reconcile the safe realm she's just left with a world outside that has become unfamiliar. With Mom and Dad's love and wisdom, however, and with the help of her teacher and friends, Erin comes to see that by sharing her experience she can find happiness again in just being herself. Sensitively told and vibrantly brought to life, Cloud Babies brings recognition and comfort to children facing illness or hardship, as well as guidance to those who wish to offer support but may not know where to start.
"Sometimes all we need to do is look up"--Cover.
Returning to school after being in the hospital for a while, six-year-old Erin, whose favorite game is spotting animals in the clouds, finds things much different until she comes to see that by sharing her experience, she can find happiness again in just being herself.
