Dylan Dreyer, the beloved Today show co-host, has long been admired for her lively presence and multifaceted talents. This week, she stunned her fans with an exciting life update that wasn’t related to her role on Today—and it’s something close to her heart.

After 70 Years, Today is Still Going Strong

As many know, Dylan is not just a dedicated meteorologist and co-anchor but also a proud mother of three young boys. Balancing motherhood with her television career, she has often shared glimpses of her family life with her audience. But now, Dylan is adding a new feather to her cap—one that fulfills a long-held dream of hers: writing a children’s book.

In a heartwarming Instagram post, Dylan excitedly revealed her upcoming book, A Peek Out of Your Window, which will be released on January 7. The post, alongside a photo of the book’s cover, marked a milestone for the Today host as she fulfilled a lifelong aspiration of creating a children’s book—a project inspired by her own kids and family experiences.

A Dream Come True for Dylan Dreyer

Dylan’s post was filled with excitement as she shared her joy with her followers. “Tomorrow is the day!!” she wrote, eagerly anticipating the book’s release. But it wasn’t just about the date; Dylan’s personal connection to the project shone through as she explained the inspiration behind it.

“You know how sometimes the little things make you the most proud?” she said. “I’ve been wanting to make a Lift the Flap book because they were always my kids’ favorite books when they were little.”

The inspiration came from Dylan’s own children’s love for books that offer interactive experiences, like the classic “Lift the Flap” series. But what truly made this book special for her was the idea of turning her little phrase, “a peek out your window,” into something tangible for her children—and now, for kids everywhere.

“I had dreams of turning my little phrase ‘a peek out your window’ into that book,” she continued. “Tomorrow that dream comes true. I hope you love it as much as I do!”

Fans were quick to express their excitement, with many commenting on how thrilled they were to see Dylan pursue this passion project. And it wasn’t just her followers who are enthusiastic—her own children, especially her youngest son Rusty, gave the book their seal of approval.

A Peek Out of Your Window – More Than Just a Book

For Dylan, the book isn’t just a personal achievement; it’s a reflection of her journey as a mother and her love for her children. The book, which will be released in early January, already holds a special place in her heart—and in Rusty’s hands.

“When my new book arrives yesterday and it’s already Rusty’s favorite,” Dylan shared alongside a photo of Rusty flipping through the pages, “I couldn’t be prouder!! Thank you as always for supporting me in this little passion project!!”

Dylan’s youngest son Rusty couldn’t hide his excitement as he eagerly explored the pages of his mom’s new book, making the moment even more special. For Dylan, seeing her children embrace her creativity is the ultimate validation and a proud moment in her parenting journey.

The Inspiration Behind the Story

The story behind Dylan’s new book is as unique as her career. In a recent post, Dylan shared how the idea for A Peek Out of Your Window grew from one of the many creative moments she shares with her husband. “I never really thought about a children’s book either,” she admitted. “But my husband and I come up with crazy little stories, and it came from one of those.”

She explained that the spark for the book came during a flight when she and her husband imagined their suitcases going on a trip together. From that playful thought, the idea for a cloud-themed story was born—something that felt natural given Dylan’s background as a meteorologist.

Her husband suggested, “What about making it about clouds?” Dylan recalled. The connection was immediate, with her meteorological expertise bringing the clouds and emotions together in a way that felt seamless. “Clouds and emotions sort of work together. There’s a weird parallel between how you’re feeling and the weather,” Dylan reflected.

With that, the Dreyer family was off to the races, crafting a world where clouds were more than just weather phenomena—they became characters, guiding readers through a whimsical world where feelings were as fluid and changeable as the sky itself.

Why Dylan’s Book Matters

Dylan’s book isn’t just another children’s book. It’s a celebration of family, creativity, and the way the world works through the eyes of a mother, meteorologist, and storyteller. It invites young readers into a world where clouds symbolize emotions, teaching them valuable lessons about self-expression and understanding how moods can change just like the weather.

As a busy mom with a high-profile job, Dylan’s ability to channel her passion into this creative endeavor is a testament to her determination and love for her children. Her journey from a meteorologist to a children’s author is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to chase your dreams and turn them into reality—especially when family is the driving force behind them.
