This climate justice storytime introduces young children and their caregivers to renewable energy through stories, songs, and hands-on exploration. Together we’ll read books like A Day in the Sun by Diana Ejaita and Solar Story by Allan Drummond to explore the power of the sun and how communities can care for the Earth by working together. Children will sing favorites like “Mr. Sun” and “Good Morning, Dear Earth,” reinforcing ideas of connection, stewardship, and shared responsibility.

We’ll share books like The Wind May Blow by Sasha Quinton, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba, and Energy Island by Allan Drummond to show how curiosity, creativity, and collective action can turn wind into power. Songs like “The Earth Is Good to Me” and “If You Love the Earth and You Know It” help children connect movement, nature, and care for our planet. Families will wrap up with hands-on activities to help us imagine hopeful, clean-energy futures together.
Climate Justice Storytime: People Power ~ Sat, May 9, 11:00am to 12:00pm, Clinton Hill Library.

Through books like Sometimes People March by Tessa Allen, The World Is Ours to Cherish by Mary Annaïse Heglar, and Speak Up by Miranda Paul, children explore advocacy, collective action, and hope. Songs like “People Gonna Rise Like the Water” and “What Can One Little Person Do” encourage participation and highlight the impact of even small voices. Families will take part in a creative action to connect storytelling to real-world civic engagement.
