The Weatherbie stories bring the weather to life and make learning fun using weather themed characters. They are aimed at children aged 2 to 5, full of colour, easy to read and fun for both children and adults alike.

As Yvonne releases her first book, she is already working on the next to create a collection of twelve books based on the adventures of each character.

“Sammy Sun Is Coming Out To Play“ is available now and The Weatherbies has been touring local schools including visits to Lissan Primary and Churchtown Primary, Lissan Cross Community Playgroup, Cookstown, Whiteabbey Primary, Raceview Mill, Broughshane, St Columba’s Primary, Magherafelt and St. Peter’s Primary, Cookstown. The book series only marks the beginning of The Weatherbies project.
