Cloudette

Tom Lichtenheld has written and illustrated many popular books for children, including Bridget’s Beret; Everything I Know about Pirates; and What Are You So Grumpy About?. He is also the illustrator of the New York Times bestselling book, Duck! Rabbit!, which he created with Amy Krouse Rosenthal. He lives in Geneva, Illinois, with his wife, Jan.

“Her [Cloudette] tale raises questions relevant to little children: Is there anything good about being small? Will I ever be as good as the big kids? What do clouds do anyway? They’ll like the answers.” –The New York Times Book Review

"Cloudette gives a sky-high and playful perspective on our atmosphere and giving the world all that we have." --UrbanBaby.com

“Little people who feel small and want to do important things will be inspired by Cloudette and will cheer when she finds her own pond-making mission.” --BookPage

“Lichtenheld’s depictions of Cloudette puffing herself up for a fulsome downpour will delight children, and funny turns of phrase (“Even the higher-ups were impressed”) will engage adults, too.” –Kirkus Reviews

“Reminiscent of the determination and courage of The Little Engine That Could, this title delivers its message with charm.” –School Library Journal

“The creator of Bridget’s Beret (2010) offers here another appealing story featuring a plucky heroine. Applying a full-color palette to his watercolor, ink, and colored-pencil cartoons, Lichtenheld makes use of varying page space and panel techniques to add subtle details to his narrative.” –Booklist

“That Cloudette is neither bullied nor intimidated is an important point; she's the one who feels she has a special gift to give, and she solves her problem independently. Neatly constructed and nicely pitched, the message of self-reliance comes through as clear as a cloudless day.” –Publishers Weekly
