Cloud~Named~Chloe and Her Cat Louey: The Forest Adventures by Kaby is a whimsical story about forest animals who, together with their cloud friend, Chloe, go on an adventure to help Oak create a beautiful gift for his friend Willow, who gave him a flute as a gift. The adventure starts with Chloe and her best friend and mentor, a cat named Louey. Together, they brainstorm ideas with Oak, and when they reach a dead end, they ask for help from other resourceful, imaginative, and intelligent forest creatures to bring their idea to life. To create a species that doesn’t yet exist, a flying daisy, they will need all the help they can get, and when the forest creatures put their brains and skills together, science and magic, new friendships, and a new species emerge.

Cloud~Named~Chloe and Her Cat Louey is an engaging, imaginative, magical, and stimulating storybook for children. I enjoyed the camaraderie between the various animal friends who work together to bring their ideas to life. Author Kaby demonstrates in detail for children the brainstorming process and how to effectively work together to support each other during such a session to bring out the best in others and deliver the best outcomes for a project. The characters are endearing and inspiring. Children will learn good qualities from each character, including curiosity, kindness, persistence, and a love for knowledge. I loved reading this book, which teaches children invaluable life skills that will serve them well, encouraging a passion for learning.
