Overjoyed, he decides to go investigate the world below – specifically, Café Cinnamon, a sweet shop that is the hangout of all the neighborhood puppies. As he falls, the puppy makes a frantic attempt to fly – and finally does. He’s left to wonder why he’s so different – and what life would be like in the world below, where he sees lots of people (well, puppies) who look just like him.Ĭinnamoroll gets a chance to find out when a spat between his siblings knocks him out of the sky. Stuck on his tiny floating cloud seat, Cinnamoroll can’t go with his siblings on their airborne adventures. More importantly, he can’t seem to fly like them, which makes things tough given that he lives in the sky. His mother is the sky, his father is the sun, and all of his brothers and sisters are clouds – chatty, mischievous clouds who can’t understand why Cinnamoroll doesn’t look like them. ![]() Cinnamoroll is a cute, good-natured puppy with a very unusual background. ![]() |
