On November 7th 2009, SciArt Media released a new, comprehensive and fun science book on weather for kids, "Weather Facts and Fun," written by New Hampshire's favorite meteorologist, WMUR TV-9's Josh Judge and the award-winning NH middle-school science teacher, Kathe Cussen!

This new children's science book on weather for ages 7-11 features fun experiments and thought problems that will challenge and intrigue kids, while they are having fun learning. The book, written by Josh Judge from WMUR news and Kathe Cussen, 2002 winner of the NH Environmental Educator of the Year Award, caters to NH students and answers questions and features drawings by NH school children.

--- "The authors didn't write this book about weather just to shoot the breeze, create a tempest in a teapot, or steal your thunder. They didn't try to barnstorm through the topic and take you on a whirlwind tour that would leave you in a fog. Rather, the information in the pages you are about to read will come to you like a bolt from the blue. As you brainstorm the facts, you'll be on cloud nine and occasionally experience gales of laughter. They've created a great climate for learning."
- From the Foreword by Richard Lederer ---
The book is presented with many full-color pages, with lots of pictures and diagrams to help young minds develop as they explore. It is full of fun facts about the weather, activities and experiments to help kids learn by doing. PLUS, there are two foldout maps in the back that educators may copy and distribute at will to help kids learn! This book is being designed so that it meets ALL NH teaching standards and recommendations, so that it will be a perfect textbook for teaching weather to young NH students. However, it is also a work that can be used for private tutoring, homeschooling or just an enjoyable experience for that youngster who loves to read about science.

We would love to hear what you think about the book! Feel free to join the Weather Facts and Fun Facebook Page, and drop us a note on our wall there. You can also keep up to date with this work and others by SciArt Media by subscribing to our Twitter page.

Congratulations to Josh Judge for winning the 2009 "Best Meteorologist Award" from New Hampshire Magazine, for the fourth straight year in a row!

Harvey Leonard Chief Meteorologist, WCVB-TV, Boston "We live at the bottom of a sea of air – the atmosphere – where weather brews a mix of awe, impacts and insights. There is much to discover during our daily forays in this greatest show OFF Earth, and this book is an excellent invitation to look up and learn." Bruce Schwoegler WBZ Meteorologist "Growing up in New Hampshire, our house always came to a standstill whenever the weather report came on the TV. I wish I had had this marvelous book to decode and understand the forecast. I would have been better enabled to predict snow-days and skip my homework for the night." Dr. James Collins Distinguished Professor, B.U., Rhodes Scholar and MacArthur Genius Grant Award-Winner "For curious kids, this book is the happiest weather-related development since the invention of the snow day!" John Clayton Writer and NH Union Leader Columnist "Weather Facts and Fun certainly is fun! A great introduction to weather for elementary school students. From cloud types to tornadoes, all topics are covered in a way that 7-11 year olds will clearly understand." Mike Haddad WMUR Meteorologist "Cussen and Judge... strike the right tone for grade-school kids and break up the dry patches with lots of charts, activities and bits of trivia." Sarah Earle Concord Monitor "The book will be a resource to be used in the classroom libraries of Hampstead Central School. We keep a variety of science and social studies resource materials in each classroom to go along with our curriculum, and your book will definitely align with our grades 3 & 4."
