Age range 6 to 9 Loutka is a brilliant puppet maker. All of his creations work perfectly, just as he expects them to. Except for Claudette. She is a rickety misfit who longs for freedom and adventure. What can be done with such a puppet? Loutka doesn’t know. So Claudette stays on the shelf. Until one incredible day… With captivating illustrations and gentle words, Claudette takes the reader on a courageous and magical adventure beyond the clouds, discovering the power of beauty, possibility and self-worth along the way. ‘A book infused with magic!’ - Megan Daley, Children’s Books Daily
