Khanyisa and the Cloud | Melisa Ndlovu

Loading player...
Khanyisa and the Cloud is a story about a young girl with a cloud that only she can see. Some days, it floats in the background—other days, it feels heavy and hard to shake.

Though invisible to others, Khanyisa’s family begins to notice its shadow and, little by little, helps her find ways to navigate it.

Lovingly written by Melisa Ndlovu, in consultation with clinical psychologist Lungile Lechesa, this book opens the door for parents and children to talk about the feelings that can be hardest to name, showing that no cloud stays forever—and no child should have to face theirs alone.
