A Fire is born to a Tree and a bolt of Lightning. He runs wild, burning a path of destruction wherever he goes. But then he Grows up, finds a Home. And in the end, he sees gardens growing in his footsteps.

"Using lyrical prose, author Marcus Kahle McCann has written a story that feels like both a mystical and metaphorical telling of regeneration and new beginnings.... If a tale of both imagination and intellect appeal to you, The Boy Who Was Fire will likely have you thinking deeply." -The Children's Book Review 

“the narrative is compelling, particularly as it touches upon how fire can spur habitat renewal. Graphic novel–style digital illustrations by Varga evoke a deeper mythology, resulting in a story that may encourage young readers to consider unintended mishaps as opportunities for growth.” -Publishers Weekly, Age 148

“Thank you for writing this for us!” - Huck, Age 5

“It’s a book about rejuvenation.” - Bode, Age 9
