Cloudy had always felt different from other kids. It was born with a rare condition that made it grow slowly, and it was often teased for being small. But Cloudy was determined to overcome these obstacles and find its place in the world.
Once upon a time, in a little town surrounded by green hills and friendly trees, there was a small person named Cloudy. Cloudy was special, feeling like a mix of clouds and rain, and used pronouns like "it" and "cloudself." Going into high school was like stepping into a big, scary storm for Cloudy, who was only 4'6" tall.
Cloudy was shy and got picked on a lot. It had a hard time speaking, a thing called selective mutism, and sometimes felt really nervous because of something called PTSD. When summer ended, and high school started, Cloudy's heart raced like a tiny bird trying to fly away.
Wearing a hoodie that felt like a cozy hug, Cloudy entered the big school. The halls were full of kids, and it felt like everyone was looking. But Cloudy kept its head down, trying to be invisible. The library became Cloudy's safe place. Surrounded by old books and the soft buzzing of lights, it felt a bit like a magical hideout.
One day, a nice librarian noticed Cloudy and suggested a special book. It was about someone brave and strong, just like Cloudy wanted to be. Slowly, Cloudy found a group of friends who understood it. Together, they made the stormy days a bit brighter.
