Way up in the sky, Hopp the raindrop is scared of change. Hopp loves playing with his friends, riding on clouds, and being happy with his safe, predictable life. But he soon learns that staying where he is limits the impact he can have on those around him.

“You have so many gifts to share
with the world, so many dreams to live.
Take a chance little man, let go of this cloud.
Discover the ways you can give.”

Don’t Be Afraid to Drop is a book for anyone who is at a transitional point in their life.

From the kindergartner heading to school, to an adult nearing retirement, and everyone in between, this creative analogy provides all who read it with a positive perspective on change, taking risks, and giving back.

There’s so much good that can happen when we step beyond our comfort zones and try something new!
