Translated by Akiko Hisa.
In a playful story presented in English and Japanese, a boy climbs onto a cloud and flies high above the city. Delicately drawn mixed-media art contains amusing details--the people below don't just look like bugs, they are bugs; cars are toy cars; construction workers build with giant wooden blocks. Speech bubbles contain common Japanese phrases, translated at the back.
