More About the Author

Maribeth Boelts lives in Iowa with her family and has been writing for children for almost 20 years. Her most recent titles, "Those Shoes" and "Before You Were Mine" have won a number of awards. Her picture book, "Happy Like Soccer" will be published May, 2012. A former teacher, Maribeth enjoys meeting and encouraging kids to read and write. "It is, in equal parts, an enthralling and confusing quest trying to crack the code on what makes a child pull a book off the shelf and continue turning the page. Figuring out what makes that same child laugh, feel understood or inspired is what keeps this career so interesting. I am grateful for every reader."

I thought this book was a great way to introduce children to fire safety. The pictures are all photographs of real life situations that children can relate to. Each page discusses a different aspect of fire safety. They warn children to be careful but also explain how we use fire every day. This book and others like it inform children about fire in a language they can understand. This book is easy to read and the tougher words include a phonetic spelling to make reading easier.
