Cloud Babies
Cloud Babies | Eoin Colfer
1 post | 1 read
Erin's favourite game is spotting animals in the clouds with her mum and dad. She calls them her "cloud babies". One day, Erin falls very ill. She has to spend a long time in hospital but she still manages to find comfort and joy in spying cloud babies through the windows with her new hospital friends. When Dr Bernadette tells Erin that even though there would still be some "hospital days", she can now go home, she is so excited. But being back at school is not at all what she expected. Erin must reconcile the comforting, safe world she has built for herself inside the hospital with the world outside that has now become unfamiliar to her. But with her Mum and Dad's love and guidance, and with the support of her school teacher and friends, Erin realizes that by sharing her world, and her cloud babies, she will find happiness in being herself once more.

4 ⭐This book is hard. It‘s about a child that continuously spends a lot of time in the hospital. And how they feel going between the hospital and regular school. How they feel they have to keep things separate or be like other children and try to forget their hospital time. But the story is useful. First off, the note from the author in the beginning about hospital kids being a little different and needing the public to understand that things

LibrarianRyan are different for them is lovely and tearjerking. In the story of the character finds that it‘s OK to have different experiences. It also teaches others that you should be aware of those experiences and not afraid but willing to try new things. 6d
