Partly Cloudy With a Chance of Imagination!

Two curious bunnies enjoy watching clouds go by. But when they look at the sky, they each see something completely different! While one bunny likes to use his imagination and sees cotton candy or whipped cream, the other bunny can only see the science behind them. Together they learn that cloud watching is much more fun when they can see it through each other’s eyes.

Join celebrated author and illustrator Deborah Freedman as she reads from her new book, Partly Cloudy, which combines the educational with the whimsical, while introducing young readers to two irresistible characters who see the power of possibility.

Who You'll Meet
Author/illustrator Deborah Freedman

Deborah Freedman

Deborah Freedman was an architect once-upon-a-time, but now she prefers building worlds in picturebooks. She is the author and illustrator of 11 of them, featuring protagonists that include an earthworm searching for its purpose in life, a house that dreams of its origins, and a character that is almost too shy to appear in its own book. Her stories have been translated into ten different languages, adopted in classrooms across the country, and honored with many starred reviews and awards. She daydreams and makes books in her colorful home in Connecticut.
