Why does snow fall, how do hurricanes form and what makes the wind blow? Christiane Dorion introduces the processes behind everyday weather and dramatic storms in this interactive exploration of Earth's atmosphere. Beverley Young's colourful illustrations work with pop-ups, flaps and moving parts to help explain ideas that can otherwise be difficult to picture. Readers investigate rain, sunshine and powerful weather systems while discovering the difference between weather and climate. The book also considers climates of the past and how human activity affects the world we live in. Packed with questions, diagrams and opportunities to explore, it encourages curious children to connect what they see outside with the larger forces shaping our planet.
