About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is nervous about an upcoming change in plans, or if they are fascinated by why the sky changes color and why animals behave strangely before a storm. It is a perfect choice for kids who thrive on facts but still love a whimsical story. As Miss Mingo leads her diverse animal class on a hike to a weather station, the group encounters everything from heat waves to thunderstorms. The book beautifully balances the science of meteorology with the social-emotional reality of navigating a difficult day. It reinforces resilience and curiosity, making it an excellent bridge between narrative fiction and early science education for children ages 4 to 8.
