About the Story
Told through bouncy rhymes and a knowing sense of humor, The Cry it Out Cloud introduces a cheerful cloud who appears on the hardest nights to say you're not doing anything wrong.
It’s about having patience and resilience when bedtime feels impossible. In fact, tonight’s tears (theirs and yours) can make tomorrow brighter.
A comforting gift for any depleted parent, offering support — and even a few laughs — without pretending to have all of the answers.

About the Author
Andrew lives in California with his wife and two children. He wants you to know that he’s been there — and he got through it, just like you will. Believe it or not... some small, very weird part of him even misses those incredibly difficult nights. Because each one was a night spent with the tiny versions of his kids.
