Is it going to rain tomorrow? That question seems easy enough to answer - just check the weather report! But how about if there was no weather report, what then? And what about our ancestors, who weren't able to measure weather patterns the way we do today - how did they understand the forces of rain, sun, snow and wind?
In the latest addition to Dot to Dot in the Sky series, author Joan Marie Galat takes a two-pronged look at the customs surrounding weather, providing a children's introduction to the basic concepts of meteorology. Read about Lei-Gong-the Chinese god of thunder-who was captured and set free, only to flood the earth. Or discover the story of Father Frost, the Russian spirit whose icy touch was a dnger to anyone he deemed worthy.
