Review Quotes:
"The Meteorologist In Me is a perfect blend of knowledge and inspiration.
Brittney leverages her talents, time and treasure to share a message to children to dream big and never give up.
This is a powerful narrative to expose our students to beginning at an early age as we prepare them for college, career and life. In the words of a first grader, "That was the best assembly ever, I can do and be anything just like Summer (the protagonist) and Ms. Shipp." I wholeheartedly concur.
