Misty: The Proud Cloud

by Nidhi Chanani

2014

In this picture book, a small cloud named Misty just wants to fit in with the other clouds’ fancy shapes and tricks. When she discovers a quieter talent that makes the valley below bloom, she learns that being herself is more than enough.

Series background & context

The “Nidhi Chanani (Hugh Howey)” heading groups works where author and illustrator share the spotlight more explicitly, including later printings of Misty the Proud Cloud and related projects. It’s essentially the same creative team seen from the other side.

Here you’ll find editions that credit Howey as the writer and Chanani as illustrator on the cover, along with updates, alternate formats, and any spin‑off material tied to Misty’s world. The focus is still that original picture book, but presented as a true partnership rather than a novel with art added on.

If the first series tag is about the story, this one is about the collaboration.

Chanani’s career in comics and illustration runs in parallel to Howey’s science‑fiction path, and Misty sits at the intersection. The book carries his voice about perseverance and quiet confidence, and her knack for capturing emotion in a single expression or pose.

For caregivers and educators, this series background is also a place to think about how picture books are made—how words and images are developed separately and then woven together, how a simple idea can travel from a family game to a bound hardcover.

The stories themselves stay small and child‑sized, but the creative journey behind them mirrors the big‑ticket deals and adaptation paths of Howey’s better‑known work. It’s one more example of how he experiments with format and collaboration while always coming back to character‑driven storytelling.

If you’re curious about the art process, variant covers, or the difference between early and later releases, this section is where you’ll find that context gathered in one place.
