Head Full of Clouds
Written by Joanne Schwartz
Illustrated by Afsaneh Sanei
40 Pages | Ages 4-7 | Hardcover
ISBN 9781774881613 | Tundra Books
A girl wakes up from a dream she can’t shake. Her head is full of clouds. When she goes outside, the things she normally doesn’t pay much attention to suddenly reveal their beauty: the plants growing in the cracks of the sidewalk, the shimmering puddles, the notes from a violin drifting in the air. She revels in this strangeness of the familiar, and eventually her dream comes back to her in all its surrealness. When she meets a friend, she feels solid and connected again, part of the world – but she doesn’t lose the gifts that this strange morning gave her: the quietly profound wonder of the everyday and the joy of being present. Joanne Schwartz’s lyrical text and Afsaneh Sanei’s gorgeous art are a dreamy pairing that will reward readers with something special in every read.

But Joe is way out of his comfort zone! What starts as a casual walk into a new town turns into a high-speed chase as Joe is convinced the duo is being pursued by a wolf (it’s really a poodle). Later, Pluto’s habit of helping people leads to the two being celebrated as heroes! But when their publicity makes its way back to Pluto’s home planet, Joe and Pluto have to find a way to escape to the moon . . . and fast, in the third book of this hilarious graphic novel series from Paul Gilligan, creator of the syndicated comic strip Pooch Cafè!
