Summary:
The book is structured around the ten words used in most definitions of a cloud: |a visible mass of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere above the earth.| A captivating story teller, Maria blends science, wonder, and humor to take the scenic route through the clouds and encourages readers to chart their own rambling, idiosyncratic course.
