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.
