This fun, informational picture book expertly pairs poetry and science to explain how a cloud experiences the water cycle.

Here's an innovative story about the water cycle - told by a cloud! The cloud describes the process in lyrical prose, complemented by side commentary from a clever bird who fills in the science facts. First, the cloud soaks up moisture, gathering "steam from a cup of tea" and "vapors from salty seas." Then, it becomes full and heavy: its "soggy edges bulge." Finally, it BURSTS, creating a rainstorm, punctuated by thunder and lightning. Until, at last, it's spent, "frizzled, drizzled, drained," leaving only a rainbow.

With its inventive combination of poetic and explanatory language, this compelling book is ideal for reading aloud and interaction. The accessible text by Jessica Kulekjian and appealing, simple art by Pulitzer Prize-nominated cartoonist and illustrator Zoe Si effortlessly teach young children about how clouds form, explaining what water vapor is and how it moves from the air to the ground and back again. Expert-vetted back matter includes diagrams and explanations of the three stages of the water cycle, information about types of clouds and an exploration of the life cycle of a thunderstorm. It's a perfect pick for science lessons on weather and the water cycle, and a great companion book to Kaboom! A Volcano Erupts.
