One of my proudest moments in meteorology was publishing a children’s book back in 2014. I wrote it because I kept running into the same problem with kids’ science books; some had great science but a weak story, while others had fun stories and pictures but got the science all wrong.
That’s why I was thrilled to come across Baby Loves Meteorology by Ruth Spiro. It’s a perfect blend of storytelling and solid science, making it a fantastic introduction to weather for little ones. This book is the 25th in Spiro’s Baby Loves Science series, and it just hit shelves this month!
I had the chance to chat with Spiro about her book, you can watch the interview by pressing play below:
This book is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, and what I love most is how it introduces little ones to the science behind the weather in a fun and simple way.
It gives them a glimpse into what meteorologists do, like studying wind, understanding the water cycle, and making weather predictions. It’s also a great way to spark curiosity about the world around them. It was published by Charlesbridge, and you can get a copy here.
For older kids, Spiro also wrote a picture book called How to Explain Climate Science to a Grown-Up. It’s designed to promote climate literacy, breaking down the complex science behind climate change in a way that’s both engaging and easy to understand.
And since I mentioned it earlier, here’s a picture of me with my own book in 2014!
I’ll be out next week, spending some time at the Tropical Weather Conference in South Padre Island. Because of that, next week’s newsletters might be a bit delayed and will look a little different.
