The Fire Giant is Released
I’m so excited to announce my new book for young readers, The Fire Giant.
For kids 7+ and the young at heart, The Fire Giant has themes of friendship and respect for nature. And of course Fire!
First reviews are 5 stars, like this one on Amazon:
A wonderful tale, elegantly written, brisk and suspenseful! The story has mystery and magic, friendship and rivalry, fascinating new creatures who may not be what you expect! It holds lessons about the environment, lessons about family, and lessons about how to manage feelings that can sometimes erupt — all in a beautiful setting where the depth and transformative power of its history is revealed.
Can Lupita show the Fire Giant humans love nature before he destroys her town with lava?
I’ve worked for a couple years on the story, including getting the details of Mexican food and culture right with a team of editors. A big thank you to my publishers (Handersen Publishing in Nebraska) for bringing this beautiful book to life, especially to Nicki Hansen for the fiery cover.
In Southwest Mexico, a Fire Giant lives in a volcano. A Fire Giant with a secret. When an ancient power awakens in Lupita, she turns to the only one who understands. But the Fire Giant is angry with humans for littering. Can she convince him that some humans care about nature?
My brother John A. Spudich provided fantastic illustrations!
