Among the Clouds

Among the Clouds
By DeMario Pressley
 
Ace is a determined young song sparrow with a dream bigger than most—he wants to fly above the clouds. Every day, he soars as high as he can, pushing himself to reach new heights. But each time, he falls short and faces the taunts of the “Fence Flock,” a group of birds who mock his ambition. Despite their negativity, Ace refuses to give up, constantly strategizing new ways to improve.

One day, two new birds, Finn and Zhuri, arrive in town. Unlike the Fence Flock, they admire Ace’s perseverance and believe in his dream. Their encouragement gives Ace the confidence he needs to keep pushing forward. With newfound support, Ace realizes that true success comes from persistence, belief in oneself, and the courage to rise above doubt—both from others and from within.

Among the Clouds is an inspiring children’s story about perseverance, resilience, and the power of believing in oneself. DeMario Pressley crafts a relatable and uplifting tale that encourages young readers to chase their dreams, even in the face of doubt and negativity. The contrast between the critical Fence Flock and the supportive Finn and Zhuri teaches an important lesson about choosing the right voices to listen to.

The story’s vivid descriptions and engaging language make Ace’s journey feel exciting and dynamic. Young readers will root for Ace, feeling his struggles and triumphs along the way. With a heartfelt message wrapped in an adventurous tale, Among the Clouds is a beautifully written book that will inspire kids to dream big and keep soaring, no matter the obstacles.
