Clouds will never be just "background" for a beautiful day again. In addition to explaining everything you need to know about clouds, the author adds fascinating stories that involve clouds...of some type or another. You can even join the Cloudspotter's Society...membership open to everyone!

The Speckled People: A Memoir of a Half-Irish Childhood by Hugo Hamilton
The Speckled People: A Memoir of a Half-Irish Childhood

The author's word pictures are so unique. Describing his mother's baking as a love letter sealed with air-kisses made me want the cake and the love letter! He artfully combines his childhood with his mother's WWII Germany experiences in an easy to read manner.
