The picture book's title, "I Want to Catch the Clouds," by Bobo Nickce is irresistible to the curious child. The narrator's mom is practical yet supportive of her little daughter's ambitious goal. With her mom's blessings, the unnamed first-person narrator anxiously sets off on her journey. Each successive creature she meets scoffs at her incredible feat of wanting to catch a cloud. The little girl is never dismayed but listens to the creatures' remarks and continues to engage with other creatures along the way. During her journey, she finds time to savor and capture in drawing the beautiful views she encounters on the way up the mountain to catch a cloud.
The delightful narrative demonstrates the benefit of believing in one's dreams despite the many naysayers you might encounter on your journey to fulfill your dream. The little girl meets naysayers in the birds, the possum, the chipmunk, and an army of frogs. This enchanting story teaches the value of persistence, courage, and determination.
The graphic designs capture childhood's essence in its bright eyecatching colours and the beautifully detailed butterfly and tree trunk. Meitner captures the mother and daughter's happy disposition in their illustrated warm smiles. The combination of a beautifully illustrated narrative and a sometimes hilarious and other times happy mountain climb affords a quick, wholesome, and engaging picture story for early readers.
