"The magic of cloud watching: where daydreaming and science meet. Parrot and Panda are very good friends, even though they see the world in very different ways. The one activity they can always agree on is cloud watching. But on this day, where Panda sees a fearsome phoenix in the sky, Parrot sees only a classic nimbostratusus. Where Panda sees a ship tossing on the sea, Parrot can only see the science of a cumulus formation. They decide to separate and watch on their own, only to find that Parrot wants to talk about the shapes and stories, and Panda misses talking about the science. Why do they have to decide cloud watching can only be about one or the other? And, so, a Stego-cumulus is born. Cloud watching is a favourite childhood activity, and a wonderful reminder to be in the moment and take in the world around you, through imagination and science. Clouds come and go. Like friendships, they can take on new shapes and challenge us to see the world in new ways. But while clouds are ephemeral, good friendships last forever."--
