“He was so exhausted, he fell asleep in the clouds.”

The Book Fairies have been busy sharing copies of Cloud Boy by Greg Stobbs on the day it is released!

About the book:

When Bobby gets distracted, he starts to float. Everyone tries to help him, but there are so many sights and sounds and smells which draw his attention away from everyday things.

Bobby would like to concentrate like his friends, but it’s very hard, so his family and friends come up with all sorts of clever plans. But a string tied around Bobby’s ankle just makes him feel empty inside.

In this uplifting story, Bobby’s friends and family might just learn that the best way to understand Bobby to think a bit like him. A positive fable that celebrates the value of neurodivergence.
