Rhode showed advance pages to you guys? And he swore he wasn't showing it to anyone but his mom! :-) Well, I feel a little better having gotten a scoop on the Three Little Pigs paintings a few weeks ago. Just wait until you see those--they are truly amazing. Looking forward to Cloud Boy very much and telling everyone I know about it! xoxo jth What!? Rhode showed advance pages to you guys?

Thanks for the review, it just confirms what I already knew, whatever Rhode touches is golden. I am going to pre-order 'Cloud Boy' ASAP. Jamie do you know if I can pre-order this through Amazon.com?

I've also seen the original penciled pages for Rhode's Cloud Boy book and I've been excited ever since I heard that it was gonna be published. You're right Jamie, this book is very charming, and the story is also warm and endearing. Every page has the imagination, curiosity, and wonderment of a childs heart. Also, the imagery and theme of Cloud Boy is so universal that it makes the story accessible to anyone who's ever looked up at the clouds. Congratulations on your beautiful book Rhode!
