“We are beyond thrilled that Jodi is part of our team to develop and actualise scripts to fully materialise The Weatherbies.

“Our portfolio has an aesthetic springboard that dives directly into a weather world of books, stories and scripts.

“Our characters are weather symbols that encourage friendship, empathy, compassion and problem solve current eco-hazards; utmost imperative from a child’s perspective today. A healthier environment means a stabilised environment!”
