Children's Books discussion

I am excited to introduce a heartwarming and beautifully illustrated picture book that is perfect for young children, Nino the Little Cloud: A Story About Feelings and Smiles by Myra Holden.

Nino is a small, shy cloud who feels different from the others. While big clouds shine, swirl, and laugh across the sky, Nino struggles with his emotions and wishes he could smile too. Through a gentle and magical journey across soft skies and golden sunsets, Nino begins to discover what emotions truly are and learns that even small clouds can bring sunshine to the world.

Why your group will love this book:

Supports emotional learning. Children ages 3–6 can understand and name their feelings while learning empathy and self-expression.

Encourages bedtime comfort. Nino’s story offers warmth and reassurance, making bedtime a calm and loving experience.

Builds emotional resilience. Gentle storytelling helps children feel seen and understood while exploring emotions safely.

Beautifully illustrated. The vivid illustrations bring the story to life and make it perfect for shared reading.

This book is ideal for:

Bedtime routines

Preschool and kindergarten classrooms

Social-emotional learning activities at home

Parents looking to support emotional growth

Nino the Little Cloud is a perfect gift for birthdays, holidays, or classroom storytime and will leave young readers with smiles and a gentle lesson on feelings and connection. With a 4.9 rating on Goodreads from 68 readers, it is already delighting children and families everywhere.

I moved your post to the author/promotional folder, Alyce, but only because I am feeling generous and because you are obviously also not the author. However, promotional books (even if the poster not the author) should be in the author section (and just to point out that the original post also has no business appearing in the Picture Book Club, as the PBC is meant for thematic monthly group reads).
