Dylan Dreyer has many strings to her bow and is not only a well-respected meteorologist and anchor on the Today Show, but an author too!
Since 2021, the NBC star has been busy writing in her spare time, having started the ever popular Misty the Cloud book series, with some help from her young son Calvin, seven.
Dylan's success in the children's book market has seen her become a New York Times bestselling author, and there's plenty more where Misty is concerned too.
During a Fireside Chat with NBC News Daily co-host Zinhle Essamuah, Dylan lit up as she spoke about her upcoming fourth book in the series.
When introduced alongside co-stars Craig Melvin and Sheinelle Jones at the beginning of the interview, Craig pointed out Dylan's writing credentials as Zinhle gave a rundown on Dylan's background.
"Yes, I write the Misty the Cloud book series. We have three, the fourth one is coming out soon, just throwing it out there," she said smiling.
"Okay, love a plug!" Zinhle replied.

While she hasn't given too much information about her fourth book, yet, it's been revealed that it will be called Misty the Cloud: The Thing About Spring, and it has a February 2024 release date.

Revealing it was her family who inspired the creative career path, she said: "I never really thought about a children's book either," confessed Dylan. "But my husband and I come up with crazy little stories and it came from one of those.

"My husband then said, 'what about making it about clouds?' This was perfect, what with me being a meteorologist. Clouds and emotions sort of work together. There's a weird parallel between how you're feeling and the weather.
"He and I started coming up with storylines about a cloud world and it just went from there. Dylan loves their creation and hopes others feel the same.
"I personally think this is even better than the first," the much-loved TV star said of the second instalment of the Misty and the Cloud collection.
"I think it's a cute story about compromise and friendship and you can't always get to do things your way. "When you give in a little, beautiful things happen, you get along, the day gets better and in this case, you get a rainbow.
"I love bringing the science into the story and letting kids learn about the weather. Hopefully everyone who reads it enjoys it."
