Ages 4 and up

While on a school trip to the Empire State Building, a boy is befriended by a mischievous little cloud who takes him to a giant factory in the sky - Cloud Dispatch Center for Sector 7 (the region that includes New York City). Here he discovers all the wonders of how clouds are really shaped and sent throughout the country. Discovering that his new friends are bored with their everyday cloud shapes, he obligingly sketches some new ones for them - with results that surprise even the "we've seen it all" folks of New York City! An enchanting story told entirely through one incredible picture after another, this touching tale of friendship shows that no matter how different two people may be, they can always be friends. Another incredible wordless picturebook from this Caldecott Award-winning author/artist.
