Big Wolf & Little Wolf
By Nadine Brun-Cosme
The Story
A wolf who has always lived alone atop a hill grows uneasy when a little wolf quietly settles beside him and won't leave — and slowly, warily, learns to let him stay.
Why It's Special
For the kid who guards their space fiercely but secretly longs for someone to share it with, this is a story about letting your guard down one small moment at a time.
