About The Energy Detectives

The Energy Detectives is an innovative picture book free to elementary teachers and all their students to take home. It is initially being released in Massachusetts, then other states in the Northeast, and eventually across the United States.

The Energy Detectives is a program of Cooler Communities, an organization with the mission to connect classroom learning to climate solutions, empowering teachers and students to effect local change.

This entertaining and engaging new book series not only educates students in a playful way, it also comes with a standards aligned curriculum for teachers, as well as resources for families that will help them save energy and money.

As citizens, businesses, scientists, innovators, and governments work to turn off the tap of energy waste and lower energy costs, it’s important that young people learn about — and feel empowered to play a part in — this change.

Madelyn Rosenberg, the author of The Energy Detectives, is an award winning writer of children’s books on a wide range of topics. Paul Meisel’s quirky and loveable drawings have received awards and accolades, among others from the NYT book review. He is also an author. Both have previously worked together on “The Schmutzy Family”.
