The Cloud That Held Too Much Rain

By Julia Q.

Pip is a small gray cloud who feels full, heavy, and sad. He tries to hold every raindrop inside because he thinks good clouds should always be fluffy, white, and perfectly dry. But the longer Pip holds on, the darker and more tired he becomes.
Then Lumi arrives with a warm little lantern and a gentle reminder: it is okay to feel heavy, and it is safe to let the rain fall. As Pip releases a quiet, peaceful shower, his heavy feelings begin to lift. Far below, a thirsty meadow drinks the rain, and bowed purple flowers raise their heads again.
With sixteen richly illustrated story spreads, a soothing repeated refrain, and a tender journey from sadness to relief, The Cloud That Held Too Much Rain helps young children understand that tears can be safe, calming, and restorative. It is the seventh story in The Moonlit Story Tree, a bedtime picture book series for children ages three to seven and the grown-ups who read with them.
