Iso and the Bushfire is a children’s story like few others. A tale of a young bandicoot’s first experience with a bushfire burning through her heath-land home. Written from a uniquely ecological perspective the story introduces young readers to the cycles of nature, the Australian bush, and its unique plants and animals, through their experiences with a destructive but vital force in the ecological cycle – bushfire.
The books illustrator, Fusae Ikeda is a Sydney based graphic artist. Fusae's strong Japanese aesthetic and her more recent life in Australia give the books illustrations a distinctive beauty all of their own.
