"We appreciate your support by providing quality educational resources at no cost! Our Title I building looks for free resources to supplement our classroom instruction and the book you are providing will be utilized in class and sent home to share with our students' families…I am amazed at the comprehensiveness of the curriculum resources. The Canva slides are fantastic!!! I haven't looked at EVERYTHING but what I have seen so far is applicable to our classroom instruction. THANK YOU!"

“One thing that I appreciated was the readability. All students in my classes, even those who face learning challenges were able to participate.”
-Classroom Educator, 4th grade, Massachusetts
“They enjoyed the fact it was a mystery that they were trying to solve. They loved those solar panel flaps at the end of the book that revealed all the ways that energy was wasted in the 2 homes.”
-Science Coordinator, 4th grade, Massachusetts
“What I loved about the book was the artwork, it was so colorful and I felt like the children could easily connect the concepts with what was happening in the book, even those kiddos who struggle, because the characters were so relatable.”
-Classroom Educator, 4th grade, Massachusetts
“I am THRILLED to see such high-quality, interesting, and age-appropriate books about saving energy and using solar power aimed at elementary school children. I've previewed many dozens of children's books about climate change and climate action in the past six years, and most are either filled with frightening disasters, hopelessly out-of-date, or are stuck on polar bears, not taking baths, recycling, kids riding bikes, and protest marches. The basic, matter-of-fact, non-scary, bipartisan things all of us need to do to end our dependence on fossil fuels - like reducing our energy usage, insulating our buildings, and installing solar - are hardly mentioned. Kudos to you! (I hope there will be future titles about electric vehicles/clean transportation and heat pumps.”
-Environmental Educator, all grades, Wisconsin
“I am thrilled to be able to add this book to our combined annual schoolwide celebration for Earth Day and Arbor Day. It will be a strong resource for students, and one that they also will enjoy. THANK YOU so very much!”
