How Clean Energy Makes the World Less Smelly
In collaboration with Nuclear Innovation Institute (NII), we introduce this new children’s book!
Fun rhymes guide readers through the causes and effects of carbon emissions as seen through the eyes of fluffy yellow ducks who simply want to keep the world clean. The smelly greenhouse gases which are “tooted” into the atmosphere from natural gas, coal, and oil power plants pollute the planet. They soon find out that the greenhouse gases aren't just smelly but also trap heat and harm the environment. This revelation prompts a choir of ducks to sing, “So to get our point across, my friends will sing it in medley… these carbon emissions are silent but deadly!”
Complete with leveled questions for further discussion to be used by parents or teachers, this book is geared towards children from preschool to grade six.

Of Marie and George
NAYGN has developed two children’s books about nuclear energy.
Marie and George both make their mark learning and exploring the world of different kinds of energy.
At this time, there are no ongoing projects in this area. Please email adventure@naygn.org with your ideas or questions!
Marie’s Electric Adventure
"Marie’s Electric Adventure" chronicles the quest of a young girl and her dog to find out why the nightlight went out. The premise is instantly relatable, because most of us don't wonder about where our power comes from until the power goes out. Marie's power happens to come from a nuclear power plant, and this leads to her learning about nuclear energy while dispelling commonly held misbeliefs.
This story includes whimsical characters, like a talking dog named Einstein, to make science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts fun and relatable to children.
"Marie's Electric Adventure" is specifically geared towards children from kindergarten to second grade with beautiful hand drawn illustrations. Included at the end of the book are some common electricity safety facts and a glossary with more challenging vocabulary words in easy-to-understand language.
SHARE MARIE'S STORY!
Bring Marie to a classroom near you. Audience: Grades K-2.

George’s Energy Adventure
Come along with George (named after scientist George Alcorn) and his friends for the exciting challenge of powering a city! George takes a journey to discover how energy diversification powers the world. The story describes George’s project at Edison’s Inventors Camp to power his own city. Once George realizes that one source of energy is not enough to power his city, he dreams of all the different types of energy.
George learns the importance of each energy source and how working together can result in a better outcome. He returns to camp the next day to work with Marie to build a city that uses a diverse energy portfolio.
"George's Energy Adventure" is specifically geared towards children from kindergarten to second grade with beautiful hand drawn illustrations. Included at the end of the book is a glossary with more challenging vocabulary words in easy-to-understand language, information about the historical figures that George and Marie were named after, and some fun energy facts.
