A dreamy story for the last minutes of the day
Up the rainbow she goes — to teach the clouds to rain again.
High in a pink-and-blue sky stands a castle made of clouds, where the Cloud Queen has forgotten how to make rain and the flowers far below are thirsty. Your daughter climbs a rainbow to help, carrying nothing but a gentle voice and a little patience. It's a soft-colored, slow-paced story that ends with a slide down the rainbow, home just in time for sleep.

What's the story?
Your daughter climbs a rainbow all the way up to a castle made of clouds, where she finds the Cloud Queen feeling sad: she's forgotten how to make rain, and the flowers below are thirsty. Instead of hurrying, your daughter tries a gentle song and a little patience — until the clouds cry happy tears and the rain falls on the flowers. Then she slides back down the rainbow, home just in time for sleep.

A story that calms before it settles
There are no chases and no monsters in this story — just a pink sky, soft clouds and a song sung quietly. That makes it a good fit for the last few minutes of the day, when a child needs a big imagination, not big excitement. And when the hero slides home on the last page, your daughter is ready for sleep too.
Kindness solves problems, too
The Cloud Queen doesn't need anyone to raise their voice; she needs someone to be patient with her. Through the story, your daughter learns that a gentle voice and calm waiting can fix what hurrying can't — a small lesson she takes in as the hero, not as someone being lectured.

Questions about “The Cloud Castle”
Is there any thunder or storm in the story?
No. The rain in this story is “happy tears” that water the flowers — no thunder, no lightning. It stays calm from the first page to the last, which makes it just right for bedtime.
What kind of photo do you need?
A clear photo of the face in natural light is all it takes — a phone photo is perfect. Avoid dark photos or ones where the face is turned to the side. If the photo won't work, we'll tell you and ask for another before we start.
Can I add a dedication on the first page?
Yes. Write us the dedication you'd like — a line or a paragraph — and we'll print it on the first page in elegant type. It's the page parents come back to years later.
What language is the book in?
English — short, warm sentences made for reading aloud, with your child's name on the cover and throughout the story. You'll see the cover in the free preview, and the whole book in the proof before we print.
What if I don't love the book?
We don't print anything until you've seen the digital proof and approved it. And if your printed book arrives with a printing defect, we'll reprint and ship it again for free.
