When the Clouds Came

by Kimberly Williamson, Frank Fernández (Illustrator)

Symbolic sentences supported by vibrant photographs and illustrations make this book engaging for a wide range of ages, and is favored by teachers and parents alike for the discussion it prompts. The tale follows four stones in nature; making this a relatable anecdote of sunny encouragement on a cloudy day. Join this group of friends as they find comfort in being able to control their perspective and learn to shine amidst the clouds.“Petal, Rose, Clover, and Speckles began to feel safe realizing that they each had cloudy challenges, but they were all finding hope. The four friends were more than stones sitting still as the world moved; they were gemstones shining in the darkness.”As a mother and teacher, Kimberly Williamson knows that bibliotherapy is a powerful tool. This book was created to help children, and those young at heart, while undergoing change. "The clouds would eventually leave because nothing stays the same forever. But the stones would never forget what they saw, felt, and learned when the clouds came."
