Speaking for Fire

Story by James BlueWolf
Illustrations by Carolyn Wing Greenlee

The Thunders were having a friendly competition seeing who could come closest to hitting the target, but one flaming bolt hit a dry pine tree instead and Fire raged across the prairie destroying all in his path. Now the Peoples are angry. The Grandfathers say Fire will be removed from Earth if no one speaks for him. In the wake of so much destruction and death, will anyone speak for Fire? In this tale presented in lyrical storytelling style by former Lake County Poet Laureate James BlueWolf and lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist Carolyn Wing Greenlee, readers witness the persistence of life after destruction and the importance of cooperation, community and the value of the individual voice. This book is destined to be a classic for all ages.
