“It made me feel sad and happy!

​

I loved the words and the message about the clouds and colors of the clouds.

​

I think other kids would like it very much.”

"Vicki's poetic ability to reshape an adult's inured perspective on grief, love, and loss into a heart-warming and relatable journey for a child is simply magical.
 

Our dear friend Cooper will inspire many stories to come."

"This touching story is an evolving testimony; about how life and spirits connect through the universe. It encourages us to see through lenses that are beyond dark clouds; the dreamy, transparent ones that can send and receive rays of memories and hope, the past and future experiences woven through every poetic word with rhythms one could feel the joys and sorrows at once. The deep rooted love and emptiness when one is no longer there to touch and hug."

Highly recommended

"This story is a great opening for teachers in early childhood education to touch on loss through this subtle story, which powerfully demonstrates the connections one can still make, by encouraging children to imagine through the water colour illustrations and beautiful words."

"This book is a beautiful tribute—a mother’s way of keeping her beloved son's spirit alive. As I read it, I could feel her looking up at the sky, seeing her son in the flight of a bird, in the quiet rustle of the garden—still present, still near. What makes this book truly timeless is the love it holds; not just a story, but a piece of her heart, a testament to the bond between a mother and her child.

Her hope that her son becomes immortal through these pages—present in every home, in every reader's heart—is something I deeply believe in. We’ve all loved and lost someone, and that’s why this book resonates so widely. It speaks to all of us.

But beyond everything, what I love the most is the powerful, unconditional love that shaped every word. It’s the kind of love only a mother can give, and it makes this story unforgettable."
