One cloud in a spring sky can change the way a child sees the world.
Nimbus, a young wandering cloud, drifts east across the Pacific Ocean, learning the movement of air, light, and weather as she travels. Along the way she meets Segal, a snowy sea eagle who knows the coastline below and the shifting winds above. Together they cross ocean currents, rising thermals, coastal fog, mountain winds, and gathering storms while discovering how the sky is constantly changing shape.
Blending story, observation, and atmospheric science, Open Sky invites young readers to look upward with curiosity and attention. Vocabulary appendices and visual reference sections encourage children to explore the language of clouds, weather, and motion while remaining grounded in an imaginative narrative journey.
The Nimbus Cloudbook: Open Sky is the first entry in a series created to help young readers engage with the natural world through wonder, pattern, and exploration.
