Publisher Description:

"Wind Blows" is a humorous conservative "Children's Book" that tackles Wind Energy and Fake News in a manner that is so simple, even a child can understand it on some level. (Hopefully, the parent will get it as well ) "Wind Blows" details Gary's adventures as he explores Wind Energy and compares it to Oil and Gas. You might be surprised by what he learns. Ms. Denson simplifies some rather complicated ideas about energy and created a fun story, written in poetry with rhyme and cadence. The Gary the Go-Cart series was written to balance the conversation surrounding energy and the environment. It is 32 pages of full-color illustrations plus a section at the back of the book, "For the adults in the room" that gives information and quotes showing the problems with wind energy. It is illustrated by the late, great award-winning Sidnei Marques, who passed away shortly after completing the illustrations for this book. This book gives a different perspective from the one that is normally shared. This perspective is shared by large numbers of experts who are not having their voices heard. It shows how the energy controversy is all about politics and money and nothing to do with the environment.

The book can be read on one level to a child, who sees Gary as a Go-Cart who likes to do the right thing, and on a much deeper level by a teenager or an adult. It will likely make you laugh out loud.


Contributor Bio(s): Denson, B. B.: - After graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Civil Engineering, BB began her career in Lafayette, Louisiana as an engineer for Amoco in 1980. A true passion for the environment led her to begin working for an environmental science company, which is where she has been for the last several years. In 2016 BB began writing children's books about the energy industry because she believes that there is much misinformation about how the oil and gas industry is bad for the environment and hopes to educate kids and parents alike with fun stories that are factually accurate. BB is married to Al H Denson and they have four daughters. She had no idea that life would take her in this direction, but she is enjoying the ride and hopes you are too.Marques, Sidnei: - Mr. Marques had been a graphic designer since 1980.
