The Air Came to a Stop

When it comes to solving workforce issues, solutions must start early. That’s why ACCA is taking a fresh, innovative approach to inspiring interest in the trades at a young age with the publication of a children's book promoting the skilled trades. By engaging children at a young age, ACCA is planting the seeds for future careers in HVACR, aligning with the mission to promote and advance the HVACR industry.

About The Air Came to a Stop

Kay and her classmates experience an unusually hot day inside their school. When Kay tries to help, she accidentally causes her school’s air conditioning to come to a stop. They call the Next Up Trades, and their HVACR professionals, Gomer Gopher and Drafty Giraffe, to come and save the day. Kay and the class learn about teamwork, HVACR technology, and develop a deeper appreciation for the skilled trades. 
 
The book provides HVACR word associations throughout the story and the last page concludes with a word and image association lesson. This tool assists children’s retention of industry-related vocabulary. 
 
This is ACCA’s first children’s book and is designed to highlight the importance of the skilled trades. Grab your copy to take to Career Day! Available in English and Spanish along with multiple formats (paperback and Kindle).
