Above the Clouds, by Kris Nulf (Book Baby, 2023, $14.95, 34ppPB, ages 5-7, kindergarten to grade 2) Review by Skye Anderson
Illustrator Carrie Knox has created the cutest little girl you ever will see. But the little girl is not happy - her mother has passed away and she misses her and wants to see her and be with her - she has many questions to ask. She is so sad that the pages are black and white.
The little girl's dogs try to make her feel better with kisses as she falls off to sleep (we even see the sheep she is counting). In her dream, way up there above the clouds, her mother appears with wings and the little girl is so happy the black and white pages turn to color. Then, amid the smiles, a rainbow appears to take the little girl back home again.
When she awakes in the morning, the little girl remembers her mother with joy and promises to do good and be happy.
Author Kris Nulf has written a book in rhyme that is simply perfect in every way! This book is for you and for anyone who has lost someone and misses them.
