The Fire Chief
Story by Susan Straub
Pictures by Andrea Porretta
Published 2019
Here is my first self-published book, The Fire Chief. Initially written for my Fire Fighter obsessed grandson Sebastian.
This book tells of a brief expedition to the local firehouse shared by a grandmother and her Fire Chief grandson. When a real fire breaks out, these two follow the fire engine and watch from a safe distance. The fire fighters successfully put out the fire, and rescue a cat. It is a wonderful shared adventure for both Grandmother and Grandson.
Andrea Porretta, an illustrator working in Brooklyn, gives the brief story the most exceptional, professional, and loving illustrations. Her illustrations make the book a REAL picture book.
Available at Books Are Magic 225 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231.
