The students drew pictures of their own renewable energy world, inspired by illustrations in the book. Our donation of 40 kits to the school included Sarah's book, a National Grid folder and coloring book.Īfter the reading, the inquisitive students took part in a robust discussion with Sarah about clean energy actions they are already taking and how they can do more now and in the future. The book introduces children to climate change and the impact it has on the environment and serves to spark an interest in STEM-related fields. Author Sarah Burns, a former National Grid employee, joined by video to read her book A look into Tomorrow to 20 third to fifth grade students. The virtual Read Out Loud event focusing on climate change was a big hit at P.S.
