Reviews

""Smoldering, warm-toned illustrations combine multiple scenes on each page with a dynamic flow. Visuals evoking a fast-spreading blaze are enhanced by Lawson’s lyrical prose . . . A scorching tale of one woman’s unstoppable courage and fiery grit."" --Kirkus Reviews ""In this resonant story, conserving nature, protecting communities, and demanding equal opportunity unite."" --Publishers Weekly ""A satisfying and timely offering."" --Booklist ""Evocative of watercolor and pencilwork, the smudgy, blurred art in vibrant colors of blazing reds and oranges nearly radiates heat off the page . . . A reminder that persistence even in the face of what seems insurmountable is essential as the climate crisis grows."" --BCCB
