A Cloud Named Joleen - Adrian Hawaleshka

. .

Résumé :
Joleen is a beautiful but sad little cloud. She longs to have friends. She has travelled around the world to many special places. But whenever she finds children playing, they shoo her away. Who wants a cloud hanging around when you just want to have fun? Joleen goes to her mother and father upset that she has no friends, but her father reminds her that clouds have a special purpose. Joleen needs to remember that and be proud of who she is. Thinking on her father's words, Joleen comes to understand that it is more important to be who you are than spend time worrying about what others think of you. Just being yourself can make you stronger than you ever imagined!
