Remember: Triple Zero Heroes
Celebrating our triple zero heroes
For Thank a First Responder Day 2026, Fortem Australia is proud to partner with Hawkeye Publishing and author J. E. Miller to bring you the inspiring children’s storybook Remember: Triple Zero Heroes.
To celebrate the day, we were delighted to gift 200 copies of the book to the first schools, libraries and early learning centres who registered to take part in Thank a First Responder Day. The response was incredible – and those copies were snapped up almost immediately!
Due to popular demand, we’re thrilled to now offer you the opportunity to purchase your own copy at a discounted rate. Even better, a percentage of every book sold will be donated to Fortem Australia to support the wellbeing of first responders and their families.

About: Inspire your students to find their voice, tell their stories, and think creatively with engaging online author workshops designed specifically for schools.
Led by award-winning author, J.E. Miller, these interactive sessions go beyond ‘just writing.’ Students explore the power of storytelling across the curriculum—building confidence, strengthening communication skills, and developing creativity in a supportive, high-energy environment.
Each workshop is tailored to suit your class needs, year level, and learning goals, with clear links to the Australian Curriculum in English, Literacy, and The Arts. Whether your students are emerging writers or confident performers, these sessions are designed to spark imagination, encourage critical thinking, and make learning genuinely fun.
Learn moreAbout the book
J. E. Miller’s Remember: Triple Zero Heroes follows a young child stepping into different shoes attending an ANZAC Parade to experience life through another’s eyes, for just a moment.
The child becomes a fireman, a police officer with a sniffer dog, a paramedic, a mounted police officer, an SES floodboat operator, and more. All of these stories are based on real-life experiences.
More than a book about just who these people are and what they do, Remember: Triple Zero Heroes fills readers with the Australian spirit.

An experienced performer, trainer, philanthropist, and public speaker, Julie is very active in her community and supports several charities, organisations, and not-for-profits close to her heart.
She lives in NSW with her family and two robot vacuums, Mrs Potts and Chip. Aside from her favourite job, being a mum, she loves writing characters rich with courage, integrity, and compassion.
