SYNOPSIS
Shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year 2024
An introduction to the wondrous world of clouds, by the internationally bestselling founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society and a prize-winning children's book author and illustrator
'Have you ever watched a cloud being born?'
Clouds come in all manner of shapes and sizes, from low-lying Stratus to high-flying Cirrus via roll clouds, banner clouds and tornados. This beautifully illustrated guide reveals the facts, secrets and stories of all the major cloud types, and how they shape the weather around them. We learn their fancy Latin names, explore the parts of the sky where they like to hang out, marvel at the ways they play with sunlight – and even visit them on other planets, where they are sometimes made of acid.
Cloudspotting for Beginners will inspire curious minds with a lifelong sense of meteorological wonder.

REVIEWS
This is a beautiful book. Aimed principally at upper primary school children, it has been so well conceived and produced that it offers much for the more mature reader also . . . Pretor-Pinney and Grill have recognised the fundamental and key aspects of observing clouds – that their aesthetic beauty is the prime motivating factor in enthusing our interest towards them, and that their modification, or continual evolution, is best expressed in an art form lying somewhere between expressionism and impressionism, and which cannot largely be achieved using still photography . . . I know of no better book on offer to enthuse our youngest generation towards an interest in observation of the natural world and the skies, and which encourages us to view the hemisphere as the equivalent of a tableau, rather than as a digital screen - Edward Graham, Weather magazine
