Winner at the 2011 Living Now Book Awards. A touching and sensitive story for all ages about accepting differences and dealing with the loss of a loved one.On a spring night, under the light of the full moon, a little lamb was born. Delia Derito, her mother, decided to call him Kor Derito. Kor was a very special sheep, and as time passed, it became more apparent that he was nothing like the other lambs. While his friends were dressed with white, long wool, the little one was covered with a small, fluffy cloud. Kor was a white cloud, sometimes cloudy, sometimes even a stormy one!

Él no estaba hecho para saltar vallas y ayudar a los niños a conciliar el sueño; lo que a él le gustaba más era estar en la naturaleza.Pero como las nubes, pronto Kor se dio cuenta de que su lugar estaba en el cielo.
