Description
Jack Miller is still on probation when he faces his first major wildfire in the hills.
Assigned to a two-week strike team deployment, Jack quickly learns that battling a raging brush fire is nothing like training. The smoke is thick. The heat is relentless. The days are long. Protecting homes and families takes courage, discipline, and total teamwork.
Based on real experiences from a 20-year firefighter and former elementary school teacher, this powerful rhyming picture book introduces young readers to the world of wildland firefighting in an age-appropriate and authentic way. Real firefighting terms and scenarios are woven into the story, with simple explanations included to help children understand the action.
With intense wildfire scenes, true-to-life detail, and a heartfelt look at courage under pressure, Jack Miller: Wildfire in the Hills shows what it means to stand strong when the stakes are high.
A quick peek inside:
The men are all choking, the smoke is so thick
