By Rebecca A Lillyman

Meet Clumsy Cleo, a crane with a peculiar problem - a toe that just won't go straight This delightful children's book follows Cleo's journey to find love despite his quirky flaw.
Cleo knows the traditional way to win a mate is through the "Dance of Romance," a dance passed down from his father and grandfather. But with his bendy toe, Cleo struggles to keep up, often ending up in a heap on the floor.
Determined to find love, Cleo decides to ditch the dance and speak from the heart. His chance comes at a race where he lands right at the feet of a beautiful crane. Instead of a dance, Cleo shows his toe, embracing his imperfection.
To his surprise, the crane shares her own secret - a patch of funny feathers she's always hidden. Together, they decide dancing might not be for them, but wading could be just as romantic.
In the gentle flow of the river, Cleo and his new gal find a love that doesn't care about funny feathers or tripping toes. They build a nest by the riverbank, starting a happy little family.
