Ms Doina Cloudley

Wispy was born on a quiet afternoon as I lay on a blanket with my twin boys, watching clouds drift across the sky. We spotted crocodiles, elephants, dragons, until I saw one that looked just like them.

That cloud became Wispy: curious and cheeky like one twin, gentle and thoughtful like the other. For a while, Wispy became part of our everyday sky until life rushed in, and he floated off for nearly twelve years.

These stories are my way of bringing him back and sending him out into the world, one little wander at a time.

When not working or spending time with the family, I write stories and the odd poem for children and the young at heart, mix in some non-fiction, and sprinkle in a bit of drawing and painting along the way.
