Poor Gust wants to help! But what can he do? The lone wind turbine at a busy port, he watches over everything in the water and on land. The people and machines are always on the move, but not Gust. All day long, the workers swirl around him like the wind while he is stuck standing still. He can't do what everyone else does. Is there a job for Gust? Everything changes one night when Gust asks his friend, the Port Director, for help. His answer surprises Gust - and it might surprise you!

Join Gust in his journey to discover how a little wind turbine can have a BIG impact. At a time when climate conversations happen at the dinner table, this is the true story of how one small wind turbine made the Port of Milwaukee fully energy independent and produced enough electricity to share with the surrounding city!

Gust has something for everyone. Fans of big construction vehicles will enjoy the many characters found working at a port. Curious young environmentalists will learn how wind power can be a renewable energy source. And adult readers will love how Gust's tale reminds children that, by working together and contributing their own unique gifts, they can make a difference too. Gust is a story of how everyone - no matter how big or small - can help to better their community and their world.
