Poor Gust wants to help! But what can he do? The lone wind turbine at a
busy port, he watches over everything in the water and on land. The
people and machines are always on the move, but not Gust. All day long,
the workers swirl around him like the wind while he is stuck standing
still. He can't do what everyone else does. Is there a job for Gust?
Everything changes one night when Gust asks his friend, the Port
Director, for help. His answer surprises Gust - and it might surprise
you!
Join Gust in his journey to discover how a little wind turbine can have
a BIG impact. At a time when climate conversations happen at the dinner
table, this is the true story of how one small wind turbine made the
Port of Milwaukee fully energy independent and produced enough
electricity to share with the surrounding city!
Gust has something for everyone. Fans of big construction vehicles will
enjoy the many characters found working at a port. Curious young
environmentalists will learn how wind power can be a renewable energy
source. And adult readers will love how Gust's tale reminds children
that, by working together and contributing their own unique gifts, they
can make a difference too. Gust is a story of how everyone - no matter
how big or small - can help to better their community and their world.
