A Fire Story
by Brian Fies
I received an advance copy at ALA Midwinter from the publisher.
This was absolutely heartbreaking in under 160 pages. It's the true story (expanded from an original webcomic) of the author's loss of his house to a wildfire in 2017. The illustrations are simple (the original comic was done with supplies from Target), but the story told in the pictures as well as the additional stories Fies includes from others impacted by the fire paint a vivid picture of what happens when entire communities are vaporized off the face of the earth. This is particularly timely after the most recent 2018 fires in California, a record of a changing climate and its unavoidable consequences.
