Most people would agree that forest fires can cause great destruction.  Preventing forest fires and protecting nature is important.  However, over fifteen species of birds call the burned forests home.  Instead of remaining blighted areas, these birds and other animals bring life back to the forests.  This book will change the way you see forest fires and give you a new perspective on the special fire birds who rise from the ashes.  (Garden State Children's Book Awards, 2018)
