Summary
Danny the bear was born under a blue cloud that makes him feel unhappy and lose interest in playing with his friends.
Danny was born under a blue cloud. He didn amp rsquo t know why, but sometimes the cloud made him cry. Some days he didn amp rsquo t want to get out of bed. Some days he was one big GROWL! With the help of Barnaby the rabbit, Danny learns to think more positive thoughts, feel better about himself, and dance his way into a better mood! He practices Barnaby amp rsquo s amp ldquo Feel Good Rules amp rdquo until his cloud turns lighter and brighter.
Eventually, Danny learns that he has the power to turn even the biggest, bluest cloud into a beautiful rainbow!
Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers with more information about childhood depression and strategies to help children cope.

Critics Review
amp ldquo illustrations of woodland creatures will be a familiar sight and comfort to readers. Children do experience depression, and the back matter addresses strategies for caregivers explained in a simple language that is not overwhelming amp hellip amp rdquo -School Library Journal
amp ldquo The author James M. Foley is a licensed psychologist, experienced in treating children. So his stand-in in the story, Barnaby, knows what he amp rsquo s talking about amp hellip . Danny and the Blue Cloud could be an invaluable resource for children who are coping with depression or know someone who is, and perhaps it could help the adults who read it with them develop some more compassion and understanding, as well. amp rdquo -Portland Book Review
