Fire is a natural part of the Australian bush. This is a story
about that relationship – fire that breathes life back into
nature. Alight shares the story of Australian native plants and
animals during a planned fire. Discover how the fire helps
Christmas Bells grow new flowers and Wallum Banksia to open its
woody seed capsules. Follow Antechinus and a tiny Wallum Sedge Frog
as they face the danger of the fire – and the challenges that
come after. See how the bush recovers and flourishes after the
fire, all under the watch of Old Eucalypt. With engaging text by
Sam Lloyd, and stunning illustrations by Samantha Metcalfe, Alight
is a gentle exploration of the importance and benefits of healthy
fire in the bush. Reading level varies from child to child, but we
recommend this book for ages 6 to 9. KEY INFO Explores how planned
fire is a necessary element in the fire-prone ecosystems of the
Australian bush. Shows how different species of plants and animals
respond to fire and can benefit from post-fire conditions.
Illustrates how tiny animals can survive fire and how fire can
trigger flower production, seed release and germination in plants.
Demonstrates the challenges animals and plants can also face in the
post-fire environment.
