Happiness is a Cloud

Join Harry at the beach! Look up to the clouds and what do you see? A delightful, lyrical tale of the emotions that family love, mindfulness, and imagination can inspire!

Harry and his father, along with their dog, Jasper, spend a day together at the beach observing the ever-changing shapes of the clouds. Harry sees different shapes and gives each cloud an emotion. ‘That cloud is angry’. ‘That cloud is happy’. ‘That cloud is lonely’. He watches as the clouds slowly drift across the sky and transform.

Harry shows us that emotions are like clouds. They change shape and roll by. He feels overwhelmed with a feeling and watches it change and drift out of view. Some days are wonderful, filled with sunlight, inviting us to play outside. Other days are cloudy and stormy… but the sun will always return to brighten our day!

Happiness is a Cloud by Robert Vescio is a beautifully written story that encourages mindfulness and the appreciation of transient emotions.
