This book is an object of community memory, a lament for the human and natural losses caused by climate disasters like the Canberra firestorm of 2003 and the Australia-wide fires of the summer of 2019-2020.
But it’s also a song of thanks to our tireless emergency workers and strong communities. It’s an homage to the magpies who returned to our suburbs with their glorious song. It’s a plea to act on climate change. And it’s a story of hope.
