UCLan Publishing The Weather Weaver: A Weather Weaver Adventure
Book SynopsisWhat if you could befriend a cloud? What weather would you choose? What if the weather matched itself to your mood, whether you wanted it to, or not? 11-year-old Stella has returned home to Shetland to spend the summer with her Grandpa, but it's nothing like she remembers. Grandpa is lost in his grief for Gran, the island is bleak and Stella feels trapped, until she encounters an old woman, Tamar, who can spin rainbows and call hurricanes. With the help of Nimbus, a feisty young storm cloud, Stella begins to learn the craft of weather weaving. But when her cloud brain-fogs Grandpa and The Haken (a sea witch) starts to close in, she realises that magic comes with big responsibilities. It will take all her heart and courage to face the coming storm... THE WEATHER WEAVER is essentially a Moana tale for Shetland; a coming of age story, intertwined with island myths and hidden magic. At its heart, the novel tackles the following themes: independence, the meaning of home, and the fallibility of grown-ups.

Perfect for sharing at bedtime with cuddles.’ * BookTrust *‘A truly charming book little ones will adore.’ * Little London *‘This brightly illustrated picture book is a celebration of the enduring love that surrounds your children, wherever they are in the world.

The illustrations provided by Allison Colpoys are nothing short of amazing.
