The Weather by Heather

by Diana Perry

Overview

Teaching weather in a fun to read story for ages 5 to 10

In a library setting, The Weather by Heather is a fun to read fictional Early Reader Level 4 Chapter Book. Mr. Beedy, the local meteorologist, enlists fun ways to teach Heather the science of weather. Kids from 5 to 10 will relate to Heather's dilemma with her hard homework assignment and will laugh at the funny escapades of Mr. Beedy who constantly gets in trouble with the library staff.

Among many others, it is recommended by Chief Meteorologist Lonnie Quinn of CBS' The Today Show and The Early Show, and Sandy Whelchel, executive director of the National Writers' Association. This book will definitely get kids to look up at the sky more often.

This book is a cross between Dr. Seuss and a meteorology text book. Kids will have fun reading the pages without realizing that they are digesting a good size dose of science. 'The Weather by Heather' tackles many of the complicated elements in our atmosphere, but this book breaks them down into easy, understandable, and fun scenes. Enjoy!

This clever children's book, 'The Weather by Heather' teaches younger children about the weather including the names of cloud formations and other interesting facts. A great read for younger children.

It is often said that 'a picture is better than a thousand words'. These illustrations are used to kindle the imaginations of the children. The bright colors capture their attention. The messes made by Mr. Beedy help explain scientific concepts. When we plant seeds of information in young hearts and minds, we never know how bountiful a harvest it will bring.

Diana Perry's new book, 'The Weather by Heather', exposes the young reader to an amazing amount of weather terms and technology and is sure to inspire a new crop of budding meteorologists!

About the Author

I have loved to write since I knew how. Other than being with family, reading a good book is my favorite past-time. Previously, I have worked as an editor for Gardenia Book Publishing and Talent Magazine. I have also served as reader editor for two publishers and have over 200 tear sheets to my publishing credits including fillers, celebrity interviews, short stories, articles and puzzles in many newspapers and magazines throughout the country including The Ohio Valley Outdoors Magazine, The Wheeling Intelligencer newspaper, Quaker Life Magazine, The Ohio Valley Parent Magazine, The Ohio Valley Outdoors Magazine, The Mining Gazette newspaper, The Summer Survival Guide for Parents Magazine, The Charlotte Observer newspaper and Ridin' On Motorcycle Magazine. I have done celebrity interviews including Don and Kandi Kinski who star in Whitetail Freaks on The Outdoor Channel.

My juvenile short story, How God Makes Music, was chosen for the cover story of the June 2012 issue of Primary Treasure Magazine and my juvenile short story, Temptation at Fashion Station, also made the cover story of the June 2012 issue of Guide Magazine. My story Be Still and Listen was recently chosen by Bread Ministries for their juvenile magazine Bread for God's Children. My juvenile book, The Snake That Could Bake, placed third in the national juvenile fiction contest, Stepping Stones.

Currently I am writing for many of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books; they are promoting me on their website and in their books as well as arranging interviews for me with radio and television stations as well as magazines and newspapers.

I am currently on national book tour with my illustrator, Brett Meeds, with my juvenile book The Weather by Heather. We soon will begin work on my next 7 books, The Fairyland Adventures, with the first book The Fairyland Pet Show.

My illustrator and I sponsor contests in several of the 2015 Writers Market books. I am the Ohio liaison for the National Writer's Association as well a member of the National Association of Professional Women. I am also a member of many writers associations including the Society of Children's Books Writers & Illustrators.
