How I made friends with wildfire~ by writing this children's book about wildfire! Spark is a fire being who moves through the four stages of fire development. Written lyrically as an ancient dance between the elements, the reader is invited to come along on a wildfire ride to see the landscape from a fire's perspective. Will Spark be able to keep it under wraps or become fully ablaze? It all depends on the conditions before him. Spark, like fire itself, transforms. The reader is gifted a renewed appreciation and understanding of fire. After all, it's fire that so generously warms our hearts and our homes. The use of alliteration, onomatopoeia, animism, and a sprinkling of fire science makes Spark a fun and expansive way to learn about fire.
