My instructor and I nearly got sucked into the clouds, due to the fact that he, my instructor, being the pilot in command, failed to maintain the specified distance from the clouds whilst flying under VFR. It emphasizes preparedness and demonstrates that certain frightening situations cannot be avoided and that hard work is rewarded.

Indeed, weather is a key element of Chloe Aridjis's urban vision: Tatiana's narrative of Berlin opens with a storm that shakes the dust of the past up from between her floorboards and closes with a freak fog that envelops the whole city. The descriptions of the clouds are expressive and imaginative, one of my favorites is the "cloud haircut" Pileus cloud, a "supercooled droplet bouffant, worn exclusively by the fashionable Cumulus family". In this unique social-emotional learning series, the author blends her broad weather expertise with her experience as a mother.
