What's inside
24 story pages
The real build, in the real order: measuring the wind, roads, digging, the steel rebar, the big concrete pour, blades and tower sections arriving by truck, building the crane, stacking the tower, the big lift, the rotor lift, the substation, the power lines, the first spin and the lights coming on.
13 activity pages
A word search, a blade truck maze, match the machine, connect the dots, spot the differences, talk like a crane crew, color by number, what comes first, design your own hard hat, how to draw Breezy and cut-out big machine cards.
6 wind tech pages
The people who keep turbines running: the long climb up the tower, tightening the big bolts, and the blade doctors who fix blades while hanging from ropes.
13 wind scenes around the world
Turbines out at sea, floating giants, a snowy ridge, the desert, a sunflower farm, the northern lights and more.
Made for crayons and markers
Every coloring page is printed on one side of the sheet, so markers don't spoil the next picture. Each page has one to three little hard hats: one is quick and easy, three is a big build. Let your builder pick.
Find Breezy on every page
Breezy the Site Dog hides somewhere in every picture. There's also a Meet the Crew page, a safety gear page, a page on how a wind turbine works, a builder's certificate, an answer key, and a page for grown-ups with things to talk about.

Questions grown-ups ask
What ages is it for?
Ages 4 to 10. Younger kids color and hunt for Breezy. Older kids read the facts and work the puzzles.
Is the construction real?
Yes. The book follows the real order a wind farm gets built, from measuring the wind to the first spin, and every fact was checked by someone who builds wind farms for a living.
Can we use markers?
Yes. Coloring pages are printed on one side only. For very juicy markers, slip a spare sheet of paper behind the page.
