This book captures the real-life story of wolves being reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. The focus of the story is one young female wolf who finds herself suddenly separated from her pack and alone in a new place.

As she becomes an adult, she discovers another wolf, a male. The two of them become a mated pair and eventuall...more
Beautifully illustrated story about repopulating Yellowstone Park with wolves. A wolf cub is captured with her mother in Canada to be released in Yellowstone. When the pen is opened, the mother accepts a male wolf, but the cub does not. The cub wanders around Yellowstone, surviving, until she meets a wolf. They have cubs, and she is part of a wolf family again- her own.
Follows the reestablishment of wolves in Yellowstone - personalizing it by zooming in on one important female making her way. Pictures give a feel for the movement, feel, and soul of the animal. Nice book for a child going to the national park.
I love the Canada US connection and that this is a true story from the wolf's perspective.
Well-written and beautifully illustrated nature book.
I liked that this was a true story! Great for classrooms studying ecology & nature.
