The Weatherbies Colouring Book - Tapa blanda

Acerca del autor

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 ― Sammy Sun, Rosie Rainbow, Colin Cloud, Ronny Rain, Flo Snow, Willy Wind, Barry Star, Harry Hail, Tommy Thunder, the Lightning Twins, and Mary Moon ― and introduced the Pollutants to provide teachable moments for young children. Knowing songs are a great way to help kids remember information, and wanting to introduce them to a wide range of musical genres, Yvonne straight away enlisted composer and music publisher husband Peter to co-write and produce a variety of entertaining songs to accompany her stories. When son Steven, who grew up listening to the stories and songs, embarked on a university degree in interactive media, Yvonne made another of her dreams come true by bringing him onto the team to create the graphic designs and educational videos used in schools and homes, making The Weatherbies Ltd an imaginative and fulfilling multimedia family business.
