Dave and Janis Murray Talk Weather, Read Children's Book

Weatherman Dave Murray and writer Janis Murray will talk about their children's book from 10-11:30 a.m. May 12 at . 

Dave Murray, chief meteorologist for FOX2 in St. Louis, co-wrote the children's book "Graham and Jet Get Wet: The Wonders of Weather" with his wife Janis Murray, a former CNN correspondant. 

Dave Murray said in a YouTube trailer for the book that he had parents contact him for years wondering the best way to calm their children's fears about thunderstorms. They realized schools and parents need a book to explain how weather works. Janis Murray wrote the text, while Dave Murray contributed the science. 

In the story, a little boy named Graham experiences a hail storm and huddles in the bathroom until it passes. Soon after, a hawk named Jet teaches Graham about the science of weather, from the jet stream to lightening to how large a hail stone can be.
