Download or read book Wombat the Reluctant Hero written by Christian Trimmer and published by Roaring Brook Press. This book was released on 2023-03-21 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heartwarming and playful adventure that will inspire young readers to be a good neighbor and friend, based on the brave actions of the Australian wombat. Wombat liked her things just so. Everything had its place, and nothing was out of order. She couldn’t say the same about her neighbors. But that was their business, and Wombat didn’t concern herself with others’ business. When a very hot, dry summer causes dangerous fires in their neighborhood, a group of animals are desperate to find water and shelter. It will take the quiet heroism of a neighbor to provide resources and a cozy, cool, and safe burrow—a reluctant wombat who demonstrates the inspiring power of community. Wombat, the Reluctant Hero is inspired by the heroic and very real actions of the wombat, an animal that has helped other creatures survive droughts and wildfires in its native Australia. Author Christian Trimmer and illustrator Rachel Gyan celebrate this amazing mammal, who definitely has a thing or two to teach us about being a good neighbor.

Brimming with warmth and playfulness, What Are You? is an exemplary picture book for early readers.

Download or read book An Accidental Hero written by Laura Roettiger and published by . This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Wombat sees the bushfires raging out of control, she learns that helping those in need of sanctuary in a time of crises provides unexpected rewards. This STEM picture book, written as a newscast, was inspired by true events during the fires that spread through New South Wales in 2019/2020. This story was inspired by rescuers who discovered animals sheltering with wombats in their underground burrows. These animals had lost their own homes and needed to escape the heat and smoke during the 2019-2020 bushfires in New South Wales, Australia. Scientists warn that as climate change continues to increase, the intensity of devastating natural disasters from fires to floods will impact everyone. In my home state of Colorado, over 1,000 homes were lost to fire on December 30, 2021, due to unprecedented drought and high winds. Fire season is now 365 days a year. In An Accidental Hero, I wanted to share how kindness and offering sanctuary to those in need brings hope to the larger community in the face of tragedy. My hope as you read this book is that you'll be inspired to show kindness when given the opportunity. Laura Roettiger
