BLURB:
Meet
Bartholomew, a curious, kind and sweet third grader. One day, Bartholomew wakes
up and is convinced he sees a black cloud forming in the clear blue sky.
"I think it might rain," he proclaims. But what happens when his
family, friends, and classmates don't believe him? Will he be able to stand up
to the bullies who call him names? Will he hold firm in his beliefs?

EXCERPT
As the sun
beamed brightly through his bedroom window, Bartholomew pulled on his tee shirt
– the one with his favourite Pokémon design. As his head popped out, he noticed
a small black spot far in the distance. That doesn’t look good, he thought.
Grabbing
quickly for his telescope, he pointed, focused the lens, and peered out through
its long-extended tube to see just what the small black spot might be.
His imagination scaring him a little, he
thought out loud: “Could be an assault helicopter? Maybe even a stealth bomber?
Are we being attacked by aliens?”
Bartholomew
raised the telescope. Refocusing the lens, he decided to have another look.
What if it’s just one of those huge hot air balloons?
Straightening
back up, scratching his head, a puzzled look now on his face, he thought, No
way; I’ve never seen one of those around here.
Taking one last
look, squinting as he focused out towards the black dot, “I GOT IT!!” he yelled
out, loud and proud. “That’s a storm cloud and it’s heading our way. I think it
might rain!!!”
