"Everyday life mixes with the magical in this enchanting collection of poems by one of Chile’s best-loved children’s authors. A tiny horse gallops across the table. The moon draws astronauts out into the park. Mountains move, fish fly, and the monster under the bed is surprisingly helpful. Across poems of adventure and play, memory and nostalgia, When You Were A Cloud is an invitation to look more closely at the world around us and to see nature and language in a new, wonder-filled light."
