Christofoor - The flaming fire

Solveig lives on an island full of glaciers and frozen waterfalls, where ancient tales of snow and ice echo around the white mountains. And yet her world has a fiery heart, born from the ashes of exploding stars and cosmic heat. Award-winning picture book maker Grahame Baker-Smith takes you through thousands of years of blazing fire. From its first use for cooking, protecting us, and warming us, to working with metal. From tools to computers, from steam engines to rockets – everything started with fire. This book tells how the universe, the earth, and the lives of its inhabitants originated and were shaped by fire.
