Clouds: A Memoir

Product Information

There are parts of the book that are pretty intense, but there's something to be learned in every chapter. Zach Sobiech was a teenager diagnosed with a rare form of cancer who used his platform and music to raise money for others with his disease.

It is a unique collection of stories and essays that documents the first 50 years of free flying – the adventure sports of paragliding and hang gliding.This book was so relatable, which made it even more devasting to learn what the family had to go through. Editor of the world’s leading Astronomy Magazine, David Eicher skilfully narrates the story of the birth, death and recycling of stars in nebulae and the formation of the elements that made the world and made us. It shows how God used a dying boy from a small town in Minnesota to touch the hearts of millions—including top executives in the entertainment industry, major music artists, news anchors, talk show hosts, actors, priests and pastors, and schoolchildren across the globe. He had Ewings' Sarcoma and so seeing that Zach had something similar made me hug my husband extra tight knowing he was one of the lucky ones.

This could be a great jumping-off point to explore the skies, not just the clouds you’re able to perceive when the sun is out but also what happens when the moon comes out. Eicher’s text is supported by explosive visuals of these clouds of dust and gas spanning unimaginable distances, brought to life in cutting edge 3-D for the first time in the history of astronomy.They remind parents that this is more geared toward preschool and kindergarten age children and although some older children could appreciate the book, it may be much too low of a reading level. There are lovely asides on the magic of seminar discussion, on Eisendrath’s introduction to rhythm and its relation to style through childhood games of double-dutch, on reading at night by lamplight.
