Safety sparks a story

This year’s Children’s Book Chal­lenge win­ner, Ben­nett Hall, turned a safe­ty demon­stra­tion expe­ri­ence into an edu­ca­tion­al adven­ture in his book, “The Dos and Don’ts of Elec­tric­i­ty.”

Inspired by a vis­it from YEC’s Man­ag­er of Safe­ty and Job Train­ing, Jesse Miskel­ly, Bennett’s sto­ry walks read­ers through how elec­tric­i­ty works and how to stay safe around it. From the flow of pow­er to every­day safe­ty tips, his book makes big ideas acces­si­ble and fun for young read­ers.

As our local win­ner, Ben­nett received $100 and went on to com­pete on the statewide lev­el against oth­er South Car­oli­na co-op stu­dent authors.
