    A koala spends its day snoozing in a eucalyptus, but one day it wakes up to smoke in the air. The bushfire tears through the brush, and the koala and many other animals run until they are at last rescued by the firefighters. A brilliantly illustrated rendition of Australia’s bushfires and the animals affected. The efforts of the firefighters are shown, and the compassion of the wildlife carers that tend to all the rescued animals. A sweet celebration of firefighters and Australia’s wildlife with beautiful artwork throughout.
