☁ The Cloud Collector
In this beautifully illustrated interactive storybook, young A2-level readers follow Iris, a girl who lives on a hilltop and loves watching the sky. One windy morning, she catches a small cloud in a glass jar and discovers it holds the power of rain. She begins collecting more clouds — a golden one that brings sunshine, a grey one full of thunder, a pink one that makes rainbows. The town loves her weather powers, but when the sky turns empty and the seasons stop changing, Iris learns the most important lesson: nature is not something to own — it is something to respect. Features 14 pages of A2-level narrative with vocabulary tooltips, flashcards, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and a 10-question quiz.
