CHEC recently donated copies of the children's book. "Cat & Duck Electric Safety" to Cape Hatteras Elementary School's library and K-2 classrooms. The book was written and illustrated by Patrick Wood, communications manager at CoMo Connect, a Missouri-based electric cooperative. 

The fun and engaging characters in the book highlight the importance of electric safety. The story focuses on the proper use of electric outlets, the dangers of playing near power lines and pad-mounted transformers, downed power lines and other dangers. 

Volunteers from CHEC plan to visit the school to read the book to students this spring.
