I’ve followed the story of Li’l Smokey the Bear’s rescue and recovery and subsequent release into the Klamath National Forest. Now Adam Deem, the forester who rescued Li’l Smokey, has published a book in collaboration with his wife Celeste Deem, with illustrations by Ryan M. Lamb. You can read all about Saving Li’l Smokey at the book’s website, and also purchase it online.

Get more details about the book in this Redding Record Searchlight article.
