Climate Justice Storytime: Wind Power

This climate justice storytime invites families to explore wind power and how renewable energy can strengthen communities around the world. We’ll share books like  The Wind May Blow  by Sasha Quinton, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind  by William Kamkwamba, and Energy Island  by Allan Drummond to show how curiosity, creativity, and collective action can turn wind into power. Songs like “The Earth Is Good to Me” and “If You Love the Earth and You Know It” help children connect movement, nature, and care for our planet. Families will wrap up with hands-on activities to help us imagine hopeful, clean-energy futures together.     Liat Olenick is a co-founder and lead organizer with Climate Families NYC, a grassroots non-profit organization committed to family and child centered collective action for climate justice.
