Steve the Stratus cloud is stressed - his job is to drizzle which
makes everything grey and dreary. Luckily his friend Lisa has plans
for a fabulous new career. But will this be enough to brighten up
Steve's day? A funny and colourful story of friends following their
dreams. The tale provides a wonderful insight into the workings of
weather. Steve the Stratus is a rhyming story for 4 to 7 year olds.
As well as being packed full of fun and adventure it has some key
learning points about weather and simple atmospheric physics. It is
a great talking point for parents and their kids and a perfect
platform for a school lesson on weather. Clare's meteorological
expertise, journalistic experience, coupled with being a mum of a
four-year old, bring the elements of storytelling and solid science
together. Steve the Stratus is the second book in the Cloud Academy
Series.
'Clear, succinct and engaging answers to every question you could
ask about the weather.' Gavin Pretor-Pinney, author of The
Cloudspotter's Guide Why doesn't rain fall all at once? Can
technology change the track of a hurricane? What's the weather like
on other planets? Meteorologists Simon King and Clare Nasir reveal
the captivating ways the weather works, from exploring incredible
weather phenomenon (how are rainbows formed?), expertly breaking
down our knowledge of the elements (could we harness the power of
lightning?) to explaining the significance of weather in history
(has the weather ever started a war?) and discussing the future of
weather (could climate modification save the planet?). In What Does
Rain Smell Like? Simon and Clare uncover the thrilling science
behind a subject that affects us all. They unearth and analyse all
aspects of the weather and how it changes our lives through
answering our most curious questions about the world around us.
