Breezy the Site Dog

Meet the Crew

Theo is seven, and he loves big machines. His Aunt Rosie is the boss of building a brand-new wind farm. And Breezy? He's the Site Dog.

Theo

Theo is seven. He loves big machines so much that he talks to them. His hard hat is one size too big, so it keeps falling off. Again!

Aunt Rosie, a woman in a white hard hat and an orange safety vest with a radio, waving. Her safety glasses hang from her vest.

Aunt Rosie

Aunt Rosie is the construction manager. That means she's the boss of the whole build. She carries the plans, keeps her radio on her vest, and explains everything with her hands.

Breezy

Breezy is the Site Dog. Nobody owns him, everybody feeds him, and he visits every crew on the job. See that big pink tongue? It means he's happy, and he's always happy.

The rest of the crew

It takes a lot of people to build a wind farm. Here are some you'll meet in the book.

  • The surveyor marks the exact spot where each turbine will stand.
  • The concrete crew builds the giant foundation that holds the tower up.
  • The crane operator lifts the tower sections, the nacelle and the rotor into place.
  • The riggers hook up every load and steer it with ropes called tag lines.
  • The electricians connect the cables that carry the power away.
  • The wind techs climb to the top to check the turbine and keep it running.

Can you find Breezy?

Breezy hides somewhere on every page of the book. Sometimes it's only his ears!
