From Eoin Colfer author of Artemis Fowl comes a truly compelling empathy-building book based
on real life events in illustrator Chris Judge's own life. Erin's favourite game is spotting
animals in the clouds with her mum and dad. She calls them her cloud babies. One day Erin
falls very ill. She has to spend a long time in hospital but she still manages to find comfort
and joy in spying cloud babies through the windows with her new hospital friends. When Dr
Bernadette tells Erin that even though there would still be some hospital days she can now go
home she is so excited. But being back at school is not at all what she expected. Erin must
reconcile the comforting safe world she has built for herself inside the hospital with the
world outside that has now become unfamiliar to her. But with her Mum and Dad's love and
guidance and with the support of her school teacher and friends Erin realizes that by sharing
her world and her cloud babies she will find happiness in being herself once more.
Sensitively told and vibrantly brought to life on the page this is a truly powerful source of
guidance acknowledgement and ultimately comfort.
