A children’s book by HVACR and plumbing marketer Ryan Kiscaden, The Air Comes To A Stop, teaches children about teamwork, HVACR technology and having an appreciation for the skilled trades technicians.
Kiscaden created the book to inspire the next generation of HVACR professionals and to overcome misconceptions of blue-collar industries such as the skilled trades.
“The Air Came To A Stop was written to educate youth about our everyday heroes of comfort: HVACR technicians,” he said.
“When you showcase how technicians help others while introducing children to new vocabulary, it provides a perfect recipe to demonstrate how exciting this technology-driven field really is,” Kiscaden added.
The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) recently gave its “Spirit of Independence Award” to Kiscaden. This recognition is bestowed occasionally by the organization to an individual who is making an impact toward the overall success of the indoor environment industry.
Barton James, President & CEO of ACCA, noted the importance of providing children’s books as an effective outreach initiative.
“As we continue the momentum and grow workforce development outreach tools for ACCA members, we couldn’t think of a better plan than to utilize resources such as The Air Came A Stop to accomplish our objective,” he said.
The Air Came To A Stop is available in both paperback and eBook versions, in English and Spanish, and can be found on Amazon.
