What is The cloud about?

A little girl arrives at school with a heavy black cloud hanging over her. It follows her through the day, making lessons, play and friendship feel difficult. Then a classmate notices what is happening and uses imagination, kindness and creativity to reach her. Together, they discover that sharing difficult feelings can make them easier to carry. With very few words and expressive, atmospheric pictures, this gentle story shows how friendship can bring comfort and brighten even the darkest days.
