To Catch a Cloud

To Catch a Cloud | By Elena de Roo | Illustrated by Hannah Peck

I spy a cloud go floating by.

Where do you go, Cloud, so high?

To the sea

She sings

Where the wild gulls fly

Then catch me if you can

I cry

We race each other to the sea

Can't catch me, Cloud

Can't catch me

A boy and a dog follow a cloud out to sea, but as the weather worsens he relies on the whales and waves to bear him home.
