Synopsis

Suddenly, the cows began to paw at the ground, and the horses began trotting nervously and whinnying. The next thing Sagebrush and the Young Miss knew, a herd of deer came running out of the forest, straight past Sagebrush and the Young Miss. "Fire!" the big antlered buck screamed as he ran across the lawn where the little mountain cabin sat. "Run for your lives! The woods are on fire!" he screamed. The Young Miss had heard that animals in the forest have an alert system to communicate with when danger looms. The Young Miss looked wide-eyed at Sagebrush. "Go wake up your parents, Sagebrush. Hurry, we have to act fast!" Sagebrush turned toward the cabin and began running as fast as she could to let Ginger and Maverick-her parents, the house dogs-know of the imminent danger.

She is inspired by her beautiful Welsh corgi Sagebrush and by the plight of the vanishing forests and the consequences of deforestation.

The Hayden Pass Fire in Colorado moved Joni to write this story. Joni is an active member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.

Review

"Encouraging stewardship as well as kindness, this picture book includes a worthy, timeless call to remember that nature and humanity are inextricably bound." - Foreword Reviews

"A charming addition to the charismatic pup’s ranch adventures." - Kirkus Review

"These illustrations, along with the skill of wordsmith Joni Franks create this engaging children’s story, making this episode of Tales of Tailless Dog Names Sagebrush to once again become an excellent addition to any youngster’s library." –Pacific review

"The author writes in order to motivate others to join her in her quest to end deforestation and conserve the Earth’s precious gifts. Franks uses this story, inspired by the actual Hayden Pass Fire of Colorado in 2016, to teach new generations how important it is to respect the environment and use safety measures at all times to prevent natural disasters from happening. She also demonstrates how something good can come from bad circumstances by incorporating her fascinating character Juniper, the Shun. Although Juniper was orphaned due to deforestation, she finds a wonderful new home on the ranch with Young Miss and others of her kind during this devastating event." -The Us Review of Books
