Readers' Favorite 5-star book

Like many skills, imagination is one that is best encouraged and nourished early on. For kids, it helps develop creativity, problem-solving, and other important life skills, including even social skills and motor functions. With his new picture book, What's in a Cloud?, children's author William Palumbo shows young readers that using their imagination opens a door to amazing possibilities.

The first installment in an early childhood book series called Aaliyah's Adventure, What's in a Cloud? follows a young girl who takes a wonderful journey through her imagination. When young Aaliyah looks up at the sky with wispy clouds floating by, she sees their shapes and imagines them as a superhero with a cape or a beautiful tree. But she takes it further and thinks, what could be inside hiding in those big fluffy clouds? Could it be a puppy and kitty riding in a big purple car? Or a castle with a giant fire-breathing dragon? Aalyiah finds that using her imagination is more fun than any toy or device, because she knows that what's inside a cloud are...dreams.
