The Cloud Who Was Afraid to Rain
In the dreamy cloud kingdom, where the sky turns lavender, peach and gold, the littlest cloud — Nimbo — has a secret: he is too scared to rain.

When Nimbo just can't let go, kind Granny Cumulus drifts close and whispers that being brave isn't never being scared — it's being scared and trying anyway. So Nimbo takes the deepest breath he can, closes his eyes, and lets the rain fall at last. Down it comes, soft and silver: the flowers bloom, the stream sings, a rainbow arches across the sky — and Nimbo learns that his courage was hiding, all along, inside one deep breath.
