Jared Lillis

Jared made preschoolers and grade-schoolers laugh their butts off as a Mental Health Specialist at a pediatric clinic for 15 years. This inspired his writing for kids. He also has formal training in art and animation.

His mini picture book, Forecast Force: Weather Safety, is distributed by TV broadcast meteorologists across the United States during preschool and elementary school visits, station tours, fairs, festivals and camps.

He hopes to launch a children’s animated weather forecast for apps and websites of a participating children’s network or regional TV stations.
