A moving story about making tough choices when disaster strikes
Malia and her family are spending a day outside when they notice something strange. Huge white-and-gray clouds fill the sky, planes zoom overhead, and the air smells funny. A forest fire is sweeping the area, and they need to evacuate their home.
Daddy tells Malia that she needs to choose what to bring. âPick small things. Things important to you,â he says. But thereâs so much that Malia wants to take with her! Her pillows and blankets. Her family of teddy bears. LOTS of books. As the pile in her room grows, and chaos swirls around her, Malia comes to realize that what is most important to her wonât fit in a backpack: her little brother, her cat, and her dog.
This heartfelt and powerful story explores a rare perspective: experiencing a natural disaster through the eyes of a child. Maliaâs authentic voice will resonate with readers, and the bookâs challenging subject matter is balanced with gentle lessons in communication, problem-solving, and family.
