"I envision children and their reading companions relaxing as they read When the Wind Blows, taking refuge in the images of a breezy, summer day on the shore, and pondering a world where Earth's clean energy is harnessed."

Pete and Stacy in Beacon, NY 2009
Pete Seeger wrote so many of the songs that I loved to listen to and sing as a kid. Pete used music to share big stories about love and peace. His music was an early soundtrack that shaped the way I think about the environment.
When I met Pete in Beacon, NY, he told me that he hoped WIND would be published, so that kids everywhere would understand how easy it is to make electricity without harming the air we breathe, the water we drink and the land we love.
I'm grateful to Pete for his encouragement over the years and for his generosity of spirit.

Pete believed that that towns and cities everywhere would one day be powered by clean electricity. Below are some of the towns where it's already happening! To read my story about Georgetown, Texas going 100% renewably-powered, thanks to abundant Panhandle winds and sunshine, click here.
