Little book helps firefighters' kids deal with big feelings

For some children, the nature of what mum and dad does can be very scary. Kris Kennett is a Dunedin-based firefighter, who had an idea to put together a book that aims to reassure children about what their parent is doing, if they run out the door at a moment's notice. He's a member of the New Zealand Firefighters Welfare Society, and he approached children's author Avril McDonald about the idea for a book - and the resulting product is The Wolf was Not Sleeping, which will be distributed to brigades around the country.
