This book is for primary to intermediate aged students.
This book is a story about a girl who discovers her special gift: the ability to paint in the clouds. We readers follow her journey as her goes to sell her gifts, before realizing that her beautiful talent is not meant to be sold to this who won't appreciate her gift.
This book would be a great read for students in the classroom, and also includes text in the author's native language as well (Choctaw). A story that may have underlying themes that relate to injustice treatment of the native communities.

This book is good for a primary age group. It's a beautiful depiction of a traditional Choctaw story, told in both English and Choctaw, of a girl that could paint with the clouds. I would have this in my classroom as a representation of a belief system some students may not be familiar with.

I would read this book to intermediate. This book is about a girl who can change the way the clouds look, painting the sky. I would use this book as a happy book to read to children.

This story would be good for any age group, but it is more in line with k-3. This book contains a Choctaw tale told to the author by her grandmother. It is about a little girl who can paint with clouds in the sky, which is an old gift of the Choctaw people that has since disappeared, and when a man who runs a carnival tries to use her gift to make money she realizes how precious it is. Then years later her great-granddaughter is born with the same gift. I would absolutely love to have this book in my classroom. Not only does it tell a story that is important to the Choctaw people, but it is simple and innocent enough that you could teach it to Kindergarteners as an introduction into some of the Native American cultures.
