A beautifully illustrated story about leaving home, making friends, and being yourself.
On a bright morning, a young wolf brimming with curiosity and longing for companionship sets out from his pack in search of a friend. Yet, throughout the forest, he encounters nothing but fear and avoidance from other creatures who see him only as a typical wolf – greedy, frightening, and unpredictable. Even when he finds himself in peril after falling into the water, his cries for help go unanswered by his fellow animals. It's only when a small hand reaches out to rescue him – a child's hand – that the young wolf discovers a glimmer of hope and kindness in an unexpected friend. Marketing + Promo:
