Weather Forecasting

Reach for this book when your child starts asking why the sky changes color or how the person on the news knows it is going to rain tomorrow. It is an ideal resource for children who feel a mix of curiosity and slight anxiety about changing weather patterns, as it replaces mystery with clear, scientific understanding. By showing the busy, organized world of a weather station, it demystifies the natural world and empowers children with knowledge. Gail Gibbons uses her signature clear illustrations and straightforward prose to explain the tools of meteorology, from thermometers to satellites. The book celebrates the pride of professionals doing important work and introduces complex vocabulary in an accessible way. It is a calming, informative read for preschoolers and early elementary students that transforms the 'scary' elements of a storm into a fascinating scientific process.
