“Who Needs a Forest Fire?” written by Paula Henson and illustrated by Sue Todd and Emily Underwood, has received multiple awards, including a silver seal award from the Nautilus Book Awards in the Children’s Illustrated Nonfiction category and an Indie Excellence Award.
The book, created as part of the FOREST⇌FIRE exhibit at Truckee Community Recreation Center, will be displayed at the American Library Association book fair in Washington, D.C., along with other Nautilus winners.
“Who Needs a Forest Fire?” is for readers from age 5 to 10; it explains how stopping all fires and allowing the forest floor to become overcrowded and overgrown leads to conditions that are perfect for major wildfires. The book is available at Word After Word Books in Truckee and on Amazon. The FOREST⇌FIRE exhibit is on display until September. | nevadacountyarts.org
