AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Fire is a natural part of the Australian bush. This is a story about that relationship ― fire that breathes life back into nature.
'Alight shares the story of Australian native plants and animals during a planned fire. Discover how the fire helps Christmas Bells grow new flowers and Wallum Banksia to open its woody seed capsules. Follow Antechinus and a tiny Wallum Sedge Frog as they face the danger of the fire ― and the challenges that come after. See how the bush recovers and flourishes after the fire, all under the watch of Old Eucalypt.
'With engaging text by Sam Lloyd, and stunning illustrations by Samantha Metcalfe, Alight is a gentle exploration of the importance and benefits of healthy fire in the bush.' (Publication summary)
