FIVE STARS!
A simply delightful and heart-warming tale based on the ugly truths of the true victims of fire, the environmental changes and loss of habitats, FIREWORKS by Oliver Smuhar champions wildlife and nature, as well as the well-being of humanity and Mother Earth.
**Please note: a large portion of the net proceeds from this book are being donated to a variety of charities and non-government organizations across Australia through FireWorks’ Fund.**
Told through the eyes of a young koala, Illuka, this tale recounts his adventure and journey to safety, with the help of a young human man and his own sheer luck as many of his friends survive an Australian bushfire.
Perfect for younger readers or as a family read to enjoy while learning that loss of property for us is so much more for animals in the wild. Adults, too will be ensnared in Illuka’s charming innocence as he is forced to run for his life and learn to cope with new environments. Simply told with an upbeat manner, this tale has an eye-opening message to unveil. Pick it up for yourself or to share!
Told from the heart, Oliver Smuhar has a gift with words, bringing this story to life and endearing his characters in our souls.
I received a complimentary ARC edition from Oliver Smuhar! This is my honest and voluntary review.
