The age-old practice of cloud watching is a form of entertainment that is passed down from generation to generation. Who doesn’t remember a day in their childhood, laying on the grass and looking up at the fluffy white clouds in the sky as they take the shape of animals, people, and interesting objects? This book is the result of doing just that with the author’s grandchildren. The Magical Cloud Calamity turns this activity into an adventure for twins Cody and Rose as the result of a secret shared with their beloved Gram. The author hopes this book will help children and grandparents everywhere find that cloud watching together will create fond memories for years to come.
