Nicio and Cedar Fire got a very nice review from Midwest Book Review.   (They could use better proofreading, though.)

From their site:

"Nicio and the Cedar Fire" is a modern Native American fable based on actual events and experiences relating to the October, 2003 wildfire in the San Diego county area called the Cedar Fire. Nicio lives in the fire -threatened area and decides to stay to fight the fire when orders for evacuation come. His sisters and brother on the east coast are very worried about him, for news is unable to cover all the danger and devastation of the fires. As danger from the raging fire flames rises, Nicio prepares to do battle calmly, wearing his firefighter's uniform and attaching two eagle feathers to his protective hat. He burns sage and prays for rain in a sacred ceremony. On the east coast, his siblings also pray for rain and for his safety. Nicio experiences a strange series of visions of old, Mesoamerican deities, beings of immense and ancient power. Finally, his prayers for rain are answered by the Thunderbird, who brings the prayed -for rain. "Nicio and the Cedar Fire" is beautiful told and hauntingly illustrated by the sisters of the fire-warrior Nicio. "Nicio and the Cedar Fire" is a treasure trove of PreColumbian religious figures of myth and mystery. It is also a fascinating example of a courageous man weaving his life from a fabric enriched by ancient memories in dangerous modern times. "Nicio and the Cedar Fire" is appropriate for children ages 6 and up.
