Boy On The Hill - Paperback

by Daryl K. Cobb (Author)

As a child I always wondered how the clouds could look like animals, planes and so many other fun things. I knew that other people saw them as well, so it wasn't my imagination. In my mind I always dreamed there had to be someone out there sculpting these beautiful billowy shapes. So, who was it and how did they do it? He'd reach his hands in the air and twirl the clouds around. He'd turn them into funny things, he'd turn them into clowns. He'd turn them into puppy dogs that chase around their tails. He'd turn them into kitty cats playing with a pail. Who could it be? The boy on the hill, that's who.
