At the park, Lizzy chooses the pet no one else seems to want: a small cloud named Milo.
Milo is not fancy or fashionable, but he is just right for Lizzy. She takes him on walks, waters him carefully, and watches him grow. Soon Milo is no longer small enough for ordinary pet life, and Lizzy must figure out how to care for something she loves when it begins to need more space.
Lizzy and the Cloud is a gentle, whimsical picture book about responsibility, change, and letting go at the right time. With delicate illustrations and a quietly magical idea, it speaks to readers who understand how hard it can be when something you love starts to grow beyond your keeping.
