I noticed that many of my adult clients were struggling because of the misconception that if they are not happy then they are somehow defective. I wrote Jacob & The Cloud in an attempt to get concepts of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) into the hands of young readers. My hope is that young readers hear the story of how Jacob's cloud may hang overhead and vary in size and shape, but that the cloud does not have to keep him from doing what gives his life meaning (his values-based activities!)
