It’s fitting that my advanced copy of THE CLOUD THAT STUCK arrived on this rainy day. This book will be published in April – the month of rainstorms – but today’s weather somehow knew this book needed a rainstorm to announce its arrival. Dorothy Leung's illustrations are so emotive!

I'm looking forward to two Sarah Howden picture books in 2026.
She edited STILL FRIENDS (May 19) and she wrote THE WISE PICKLE (June 23).
She is very wise - and very talented.
