These moving stories were collected and passed down orally for generations before being written down. Through her research Mary Powell has selected traditional wolf stories to be read and enjoyed by children ages 8 and up. They draw on the American Indian`s long friendship with the wolf. Through the beautiful simplicity of its language this collection allows the reader to understand that the wolfs life and concerns are much like our own, a need for shelter, strong familial bonds, and to protect and feed their young. This beautifully illustrated book has a striking cover and is perfect gift for wolf lovers, young and old . -- NAPRA Journal
