Welcome, Cloud from the Past

Sometimes sadness does not belong to us alone.

Katya is a little Matryoshka who touches a strange gray cloud and discovers the heaviness inside her has been traveling through her family for generations. With her wise grandmother, she learns the bravest thing you can do isn't to push the gray cloud away…but to knock on a door, and let someone in.

Because a feeling that is shared becomes lighter.

Includes an original sing-along song, a gentle guided meditation, and a weekly parent–child connection ritual with simple questions, paper, and crayons.

Written for children, designed for connection. Every element inside invites a caring adult to join and bring this book to life.

Knock, knock. Who's there? Someone who will always care.

Best for ages 3–9.
