Malia realizes that today is very different. Wildfires are threatening her neighborhood, and her family has to evacuate. As her parents get the essentials together, Malia has to choose what is important for her to take along. While she is going through her things, Malia realizes that family is most important.

THOUGHTS: This is probably one of the few books on this topic.  As wildfires become a regular occurrence, this book can help make kids think about what being evacuated from your home might be like.
