I downloaded this at bed time last night:) thought it would make a good read when I‘m struggling with sleep.

I may be busy in the next few days
My first bookshelf is ready! I'll be stitching colors of the covers from each book I finish in 2025.

My favorite book of September was The House is On Fire, which I read with my IRL book club.

pickI read the author‘s note first and it made this story set in deadliest urban disaster in US history at the time (1811) even more disturbing. That a slave has no obituary in local papers to document one‘s time on earth is not shocking but incredibly sad. That a white man would prefer a wife dead to disabled and could make that happen - ugh! That a slave is compelled to run into danger to save whites from death is heroism beyond measure.
I could see this book being read aloud, pointing out the firefighter's gear and actions. Discuss the importance of firefighters and their role in keeping communities safe. Encourage questions and engage in a conversation about fire safety. Let children draw or color pictures of firefighters, their equipment, or a fire truck. Role-play firefighting scenarios, using toy fire trucks and pretend gear.
