I am a volunteer firefighter and during the winter, we sometimes find nuts and seeds stored in our boots. It’s funny and we have learned to put one hand in each boot to make sure it is empty before we put our foot inside. That's how the idea of Sherman's winter adventure began. His story also talks about fire behavior and staying fire safe, which I think is important for everyone to know. So, I hope you like Sherman's transformation from a funny little absent-minded, procrastinator to a hero doing "hero-things," with Gus the grasshopper, an unlikely friend who tries to keep him safe.
