just one that’s right for her. And she finds it in Milo.
Soon, she’s taking Milo out on walks with her family, watering Milo right on schedule and seeing Milo grow and grow. But
what happens when her pet cloud gets too big for Lizzy to handle?
This
charming story with
beautiful illustrations from the exceptionally talented Fan brothers will enchant readers young and old alike, teaching children an unpredictable
journey of growth and
loving something enough to set it free.
