So I wrote a short science communication book about the main different types of clouds. I wrote it for my girlfriend because she's pretty into clouds and I tried to make it as much of a learning experience that I could. That said, I am pretty proud of it and I definitely think it would be suitable for all ages. Just FYI, I am a molecular biologist, so I may have made some cloud ID mistakes.

I spent two years taking photos of every cloud type I could, to put them in this project. All but two of the photos are mine, because I couldn't get many photos of them pesky cumulonimbi! Attributions are on page 2.
This was originally going to be a popup book, but I realised that taking a photo every week or so is definitely easier than learning how to make sweet popups.
You might notice I tried to use visual cues to represent similarities between terminology to help with remembering the technical language.

I just don't want to take up unnecessary bandwidth on my Google Drive.
