Elara loved watching the sky. Sometimes it was sunny, sometimes rainy, and sometimes a big storm rolled in! "How do we know what weather is coming?" she wondered.

One afternoon, she found a very old, dusty book in her grandma's attic. It had strange symbols and pictures of people from all over the world. As she opened it, a gentle breeze swirled around her.
2
Suddenly, Elara was in a lush green forest! A kind elder, named Kael, smiled at her. "Welcome, little one," he said. "Long ago, my people watched the animals to know the weather."

"If birds fly low, a storm might be near," Kael explained. "And if the frogs croak loudly at night, rain is on its way!"

Poof! Elara was now in a beautiful garden. A gentle woman, named Lyra, was examining a pine cone. "Hello!" she greeted. "My ancestors learned about weather from plants."
5
"See this pine cone?" Lyra pointed. "If it opens wide, sunny weather is coming. If it closes tight, rain is on its way!"

Whoosh! Elara found herself under a vast, starry desert sky. A young boy, named Orion, was gazing upwards. "My people read the sky like a book," he whispered.
7
"A ring around the moon often means rain or snow," Orion said. "And if the stars twinkle very brightly, it could mean frost!"

With another gentle swirl, Elara was back in her room, the old book closed beside her. She looked out the window with new eyes.

Now, when Elara saw birds flying low or heard frogs croaking, she knew what they were trying to tell her. She understood that people all over the world, for a very long time, have learned from nature's whispers. And Elara knew she could too!
