A Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book 2024

Discover the fascinating world of weather through clever and entertaining poetry in this “delightfully sunny” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) picture book from celebrated poet Douglas Florian, creator of Dinothesaurus, Poetrees, and UnBEElievables.

Weather describes our atmosphere. Like whether it’s cloudy, or whether it’s clear. Whether it’s freezing, or frosty, or cool. Whether it’s snowing—today there’s no school!

Learn about all sorts of weather all over the world, from a regular rainy day to a hurricane, from fog to frost, from droughts to dewy mornings. With clever poems perfect for reading aloud and fact-filled backmatter, young readers can explore both everyday and once-in-a-lifetime natural phenomena.
