Reviews

Aoyagi's illustrations effectively contrast harmonious shapes of the pristine natural world with jagged shapes in the illustrations of logged forest, log trucks, and [the] helicopter. A commendably effective and unvarnished presentation of wolf culling, for readers who are ready for it. -Kirkus Reviews Robertson effectively engages readers' emotions through empathy for Spur. -School Library Journal An evocative book. -Baby Librarians Evocative artwork of wolves in their natural habitats enhances this empowering story. -Omnilibros Eliza Robertson's debut children's book is a very touching one, but is also a creative and gentle approach to an important issue about protecting wild wolves. This book is a great way to showcase this to children and teach the importance of protecting animals' natural habitats. And Nora Aoyagi's beautiful illustrations of wintery landscapes and wolves are the perfect touch. -Bookalong There is a message about the impact of human activity on the wild wolves of North America, and a gentle urging for those creatures to be protected. -Book Riot
