Dylan Dreyerhas leveraged her weather expertise into the world of children’s literature!
The meteorologist andTodayco-host, 39, announced onWednesday’s episodeof the morning show that she is gearing up to release her debut kids' picture book,Misty the Cloud: A Very Stormy Day.
The first in an eventual series,Misty the Cloudis “a sweet story about kids understanding their emotions, learning to deal with their emotions, how it impacts those around them,” the author explained on the show.
“But because it’s set to the backdrop of weather, of course, the back few pages [are] perfectfor teachers in the classroom,” Dreyer continued. “It’s all about the weather: what causes a thunderstorm, some experiments you can do at home or in the classroom.”
In the story, Misty the cloud “and her friends are going throughall the things our kids are going through,” Dreyer shared.
“But when Misty has a really bad day, her day turns into a giant thunderstorm that impacts everyone around her — including folks on the ground, like Claire, whose baseball game just got rained out,” she continued of the story. “So now Claire’s as grumpy as Misty up in the sky.”
According to Dreyer (who shares sonsOliver George, 14 months, andCalvin Bradley, 4, with husbandBrian Fichera), the book was an idea “10 years in the making” that she and Fichera came up with together.
“It’s been a long time coming, so I’m justso proud it’s finally here,” she added.
