The sweet tale of Lakota, the shy wolf pup, is sure to touch the heart of any animal lover. Readers will marvel at Lakota's strength growing up as the lowest-ranking and frequently picked-on member of a wolf pack until he finally finds that supportive and nurturing friend he's always wanted. The book also introduces young readers to the need for conservation awareness: through Lakota's life story, readers will come to understand the many challenges wolves in the wild face today. "Captivating, full-color photography illustrates this inspirational story of animal friendship, highly recommended for wolf aficionados of all ages." – Midwest Book Review

"Although this is a book about studying and understanding wolf behavior, elementary schools would do well to adopt it to use as a springboard for discussions about human bullying... This book is highly recommended for early elementary classrooms." – Picture Book Depot
