When winter comes, little Ed finally gets to play in the snow, and he builds himself a wonderful new friend: a snowman named Cloud. At first, Cloud is the perfect winter companion. But before long, Ed begins to notice something very surprising: Cloud does not always stay where he was left. As the days go by, this charming snowman seems to have a mind of his own. When rain threatens to melt him away, Ed comes up with a plan to protect his snowy friend. But bringing Cloud too close to life indoors leads to playful trouble, messy footprints, and an important lesson about friendship, caring, and where we truly belong. Cloud the Snowman is a warm and imaginative children's winter story for beginner readers, filled with gentle adventure, friendship, and seasonal wonder. With simple language and engaging illustrations, it is a lovely read for young children, parents, and grandparents to enjoy together.
