CLOVERDALE — Kaelyn Clementz, a 12-year-old from Cloverdale who attends the seventh grade at Continental schools, is a published author.

Clementz has written the children’s book “Jocelyn’s Cloud,” now available through Amazon.

Clementz has been working on the book for the past year and a half.

She received a lot of help from her grandmother Patricia Clementz.

“She taught me different clouds’ names, like if they’re flat and if they’re regular in the sky. She also told me about the silver lining (i.e. every cloud has a silver lining),” Clementz said.

According to information on the back cover of her book, “In this imaginative and fun story, author Kaelyn Clementz invites you to look to the skies and see a bright new world in the clouds. It all started when she and her grandmother Patricia started looking at the clouds and playing ‘I Spy.’”

Kaelyn’s father originally wanted to name her Jocelyn when she was born, and that’s how the title “Jocelyn’s Cloud” came to be.

The book is illustrated by Tia Caffee.

She says so far she’s sold over 100 books but she said it doesn’t matter whether she sells one or 1,000 books.

“I think it turned out very well. I feel pretty good about it,” she said.

Clementz says she enjoys going to school at Continental.

“My favorite subjects in school are probably reading and language,” she said.

Clementz says she likes going outdoors and sometimes dabbles in crafts.

She has three cats and a dog and hopes to one day become a veterinarian.

“Because I care a lot about animals, and I like helping them,” she said.
