When Simone is roused from her slumber by her mother, the sound of a raging wildfire echoes through their home, instilling a sense of urgency and fear. As they make their way towards the safety of a high school gym, the family encounters firefighters from a prison unit valiantly fighting the flames. Simone's mother shares a poignant tale from her childhood in Vietnam, where she was compelled to leave her home after a devastating flood. Together with other children seeking refuge in the gym, Simone, a budding artist, uses her creativity to encourage everyone to draw and process their collective trauma. After a few days, Simone and her mother are able to return to their home, which miraculously remains standing. However, this experience has left a lasting impact on Simone's perspective. As she begins to create a piece of art with one of her newfound friends, she realizes that even at their young age, they possess the power to dream and work together towards a more sustainable future.
"The Wildfire" is a captivating tale brought to life by the poetic writing of Viet Thanh Nguyen and the stunning illustrations of Minnie Phan. It introduces an unforgettable young heroine, Simone, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and activism. Through her experiences, Simone learns the importance of standing up for what is right, advocating for her community, and protecting the planet for future generations. This powerful story reminds us that even in the face of adversity, hope and resilience can flourish, and that young voices can make a significant difference in shaping a better world.
