Mer om författaren

Yvonne Fleming is a wife, mother, childminder, and children's author who created The Weatherbies from a passion for doodling on paper. Whilst sitting in the garden colouring with the children on a sunny day, she looked up at the sky and began sketching weather formations. Inspired by the much-loved environmentally friendly books and TV show The Wombles, Yvonne wanted to help children form a stronger connection with the weather they see and feel every day. By personifying weather formations, she believes children can be encouraged to take an active interest in climate awareness and sustainability.Yvonne gave her new characters names and began inventing little stories for her own young children and the others she cared for. She called her creations The Weatherbies - and so Sammy Sun, Rosie Rainbow, Colin Cloud, Ronny Rain, Flo Snow, Willy Wind, Barry Star, Harry Hail, Tommy Thunder, the Lightning Twins, and Mary Moon were born.

"Eco-Schools understand the real need to begin education early around the climate crisis. However, there is a lack of resources and confidence among the teaching community to deliver lessons around Environmental Education to our younger pupils such as Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1. We at EcoSchools see real potential in the books, songs, and animated videos The Weatherbies have produced and continue to produce, and are keen to help develop teacher resources to coincide with their content." - Charlene McKeown, Environmental Education Manager, Eco-Schools Northern Ireland"I've provided forecasting service for various companies and have several years' experience in broadcasting. My work also allows me to go to primary schools around Northern Ireland and chat to enthusiastic kids about the weather and climate. I love this part of my job. The Weatherbies introduce weather, climate, and nature to children at an even earlier age. It's a great idea and so well put together. It is clever, creative, and inventive." - Cecilia Daly, Meteorologist & Weather Forecaster
