Big Wolf and Little Wolf, Chosen as a 2010 Batchelder Award Honor Book, Stands as the First Picture Book to Win the Distinction!!!!!


Big Wolf and Little Wolf is a Junior Library Guild selection. As such, it received the stamp of excellence even before it was published. A wonderfully told story about the friendship that develops between a solitary big wolf and a little wolf, this book has in spades so much of what is best about life: charm, simplicity, emotional truth, humor, friendship and love.

According to Booklist, "This is a book that deserves a place on readers' shelves and in their hearts."

Over at Firrkids.com they wrote: "I just can't say enough good things about this book. I fell in love immediately and found myself wanting more at the end.... A stunning book with a simple message reminding us of the beauty of friendship. Really and truly, this is one of my favorite books of the year."

And as Jelly Mom put it: “LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book! WONDERFUL story, awesome illustrations … All about sharing and friendship and nowhere near overdoing it with heavy-handedness like many books today. Just a great story that your child will love … and you'll enjoy it just as much. Great storytelling! * * * Outstanding.”

Book two, Big Wolf and Little Wolf, The Little Leaf that Wouldn't Fall (ISBN 978-1-59270-088-2) received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews.

Here is what Kids Lit had to say about the follow up title:
"This sequel to the lovely Big Wolf and Little Wolf continues the story of their friendship.The first book was about the awkwardness of new friendship. This second book is about a deepening connection and the beauty of togetherness. Highly recommended, this series has its own unique feel and style. These are quiet books, filled with natural beauty and deep connections."
