Misty the Cloud: The Thing About Spring

Illustrated by Rosie Butcher
Look inside
Misty the Cloud teaches us how the sun and rain combine to create a beautiful, blossoming spring in this leveled reader from New York Times bestselling author, Today show co-host, and meteorologist Dylan Dreyer!

Spring has arrived and everyone is welcoming the season by doing a little cleaning. Little do they know, Spring is also a season of change!

As the days get longer and the weather turns warmer, Misty the Cloud and friends will have to do their part to help things grow on Earth.

Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories. They are perfect for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help.
Dylan Dreyer is a meteorologist for NBC News, a co-host of the 3rd Hour of Today, and the host of Earth Odyssey with Dylan Dreyer. She's covered hurricanes with 130 mph winds, but she loves a nice breeze when she walks her dog, Bosco. She's stood out in six-foot snowstorms (which is taller than her!), but she loves to go sledding with her sons, Calvin and Oliver. She's watched roads turn into rivers during strong thunderstorms, but she loves to splash in puddles. She's traveled the country (and has been to 49 states!) and the world...she's even been to the North Pole! She loves the weather and thinks the world is a fascinating place. She lives in New York City with her husband, Brian; their sons, Calvin and Oliver; and their dog, Bosco. Find her on Instagram and Twitter at @DylanDreyerNBC. View titles by Dylan Dreyer

She has illustrated many projects, including Cat Deeley’s The Joy in You and Vanessa Bayer’s How Do You Care for a Very Sick Bear? Rosie lives in England. You can visit her on Instagram at @scrimmle.
