Adorable ending
I totally appreciate that this was not a "How to" book. It's actually supposed to be about setting a plan into action and finding reward in the outcome even if it isn't what was intended. The illustrations are inviting and the graphic text works well for visual interest. The rhyme was ok, though we found some of it loosening the established cadence for read aloud. A great second offering by Vollat.

An amazingly beautiful story
This is an amazingly beautiful story about never giving up on your goals. A little girl wants to hug the cloud and she tries to do so many different ways. But when she doesn’t succeed after many attempts, she gives up and says it isn’t meant to be. Then she gets a big surprise. A great read with great rhymes and beautiful illustrations.

With determination you can achieve your dream
This bright colourful book written in verse is pure joy. It encourages children to never give up on their dreams, even if they take a tumble along the way. They should simply get up and go for it.
Very highly recommended. Happy Reading Book Lovers 📚📖🌹

Nice rhyme
Love the rhyme and the illustrations. I read it at one go and my preschooler enjoyed that. Some might find it lengthy for toddlers (3-5 years) The mixed fonts (especially the narrow one) could have been avoided.

A beautifully illustrated children's picture book about following your dreams and not giving up. My child loved the added bonus of spotting a plane on each page.

Cute story!
My daughter loved this story, who doesn't want to hug a cloud? I loved the message this story told about never giving up. It may take one try or four!

This children's book is about chasing your dreams and not giving up. With rhyming words it's a fun story about Lilly. She has a dream to hug a cloud and along with her dog she tries to figure out a way to do just that.
It shows children that even if you have a dream you may not succeed on your first try, and that if you don't then that's OK, as long as you keep trying.
It has a good inspiring message to it, and it is available free on amazon at the time of me writing this review.
