For almost 30 years, before his retirement, meteorologist Gary Lezak was the most trusted and popular weather guru in the region. He also used his celebrity status to promote non-profit animal rescue organizations Wayside Waifs and the Humane Society.
It’s A Sunny Life is the story of Gary’s own pet, Sunny the Weather Dog, as she becomes separated from Gary, only to use the very same information he uses on-air to avoid hazardous weather and make her way safely back to him.
Also included with this bedtime tale is a special section, “Sunny’s Weather Academy,” which provides fun answers to all sorts of weather-related questions. What are the different types of clouds? Why does the weather change so quickly sometimes? And, of special interest to parents, in the event of severe weather, what should you and your family do to stay safe?
