In the Clouds




A luminous journey into the sky for daydreamers and cloud enthusiasts big and small, from renowned paper-diorama artist Elly MacKay.

A bored and curious little girl wishes for a bit of sunshine on a cloudy day. But a friendly bird soon whisks her off for an adventure in the sky, where she can contemplate questions both scientific and philosophical in nature: how do clouds float? Or carry the rain? Where do they go when they disappear? Are there clouds on other planets? Do they have memories? Have they ever seen a girl like her?

This dreamy picture book from the inimitable Elly MacKay features her trademark stunning, light-infused spreads that beautifully capture the wondrousness of clouds and the power of nature to inspire and stimulate imaginations.

PRAISE FOR The Secret Fawn ILLUSTRATED BY ELLY MACKAY:
"Gorgeous, masterful art in MacKay's characteristic layered dioramas that combine drawn figures with cut, often diaphanous elements accompanies every page. . . . Sweet and pretty for bedtime or naptime -- and validating to little ones all the time." --Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews
