Cloud Forest by Victoria Turnbull
“A story will help,” said Umpa. “Stories make everything grow.” A child’s Umpa teaches them to read and to follow the words, out the garden gate and all the way to the sea. Every day is a new adventure. They visit castles in the air, feast with friends and sail away on the rains. But then one day, Umpa isn’t there… This incredibly moving tale from acclaimed author-illustrator Victoria Turnbull speaks of the power of books to bring people together, and to help us remember loved ones when they’re no longer with us.
'This is an absolutely beautiful, gentle but powerful story of love and of loss.. A book to share and to cherish.' * Red Reading Hub *
'Victoria Turnbull’s visionary art in this book of few words is really the star of the show, depicting magical lands of soft imagination and a dreamlike sense of togetherness … what matters here is the power of stories to transport us to magical other worlds, and the power of shared imagining and closeness that comes with reading aloud.' * Booktrust *
'A moving tale.' * Achuka *
