The story

High above a farm in the Australian countryside floats Puff, a small, fluffy cloud with a big wish. She wants to rain like the big grey clouds! But when she puffs and huffs, only one tiny drop falls out. Plip. Even the cheeky galahs giggle.

Then Old Nimbus, the biggest and kindest cloud in the sky, shares some wisdom: every cloud has its own time. Until then, Puff can help in other ways. She gives cool shade to the hot sheep, a sleepy wombat and a napping farm dog, and day by day she grows. Until one afternoon, she feels heavy and full. It's her time!

What kids will love

With fresh, gentle illustrations and simple read-aloud text, this story reassures children who feel too small, and shows that being kind and helpful matters at every size. It's also a lovely first look at the water cycle.
