When the Wind Blows
When the Wind Blows is Stacy’s first children’s book. Published in 2015, WIND explores in rhyming stanzas how offshore wind turbines spin ocean breezes into clean, carbon-free electricity for harbors, homes, hillsides and highways. Expertly illustrated by Brad Sneed, WIND is a seaside adventure for curious kids and is enthusiastically endorsed by scientific and cultural leaders.
