Heather and the Stormy Birthday

Get whisked away with Heather Whirl, Weather Girl, and her magical umbrella as she explores extreme weather and climate science in this new STEM chapter book series, perfect for young readers ages 6-9. Heather Whirl is fascinated by the weather! With eyes that change colour in reaction to rain, wind or heat, Heather would like to be a meteorologist or a climate scientist when she grows up. When Heather turns eight, her eccentric great-grandmother gives her a family heirloom--an umbrella that can teleport her to areas experiencing wild weather conditions. Heather's umbrella has a built-in magical doppler that alerts her to wild weather happening somewhere. In the blink of an eye, Heather travels to the middle of a superstorm! Heather is thrown into the deep end of the impact of extreme weather in habitats she has never seen before. She lends a helping hand to the community and habitat she has visited while documenting her adventures with her friend Edward and animal companions Fog the dog and a lizard named Blizzard.  Her journal entries, notes from her helpers, definitions, and activities provide additional information for the curious reader.
