Bushfire books for children
The Bushfire Book: How to Be Aware and Prepare by Polly Marsden (text); Chris Nixon (illus.) (2020)
An accessible and reassuring picture book that teaches children what they need to know about bushfires. There is comfort in knowing that clever people, like meteorologists and firefighters, keep a constant watch for fire. And children can play their part by learning ‘what to do if a bushfire is ever nearby’.
