Salila is a cloud who lives in Galveston, Texas. She loves to watch the beachgoers and sea animals play. But, most of all, Salila loved it when a boy named Gage would find the time to visit the seawall to draw her as she transformed into beautiful, exciting things. One day, the other clouds noticed Salila’s different shapes and would laugh and taunt Salila for looking different. Come read how Salila faced her struggle using her imaginations and daring to be different.
