Melissa Chupp @melissachupp.bsky.social · 10/03/2024My favorite thing about Lizzy and the Cloud is the first thing Lizzy does is go to the cloud seller and it totally makes sense. I don’t find myself asking what a cloud seller is or how can that be? Often I overthink when I write. I need more cloud seller in my work. #kidlit 050
