In "Smokey's Story," the beloved forest ranger Smokey recounts his origins—rescued as a cub during a wildfire and now grown to protect the woods he once fled. With help from his loyal friend Little Smokey and the clever raccoon Specs, he rallies the forest animals to defend their home from a new blaze. Morris Gollub’s expressive artwork brings this heartfelt tale of courage and community to life, both in the story and on the cover.
