A moving story about a wolf who overcomes his fears. For brave (and not so brave) children ages 4 and up.Wolf is afraid, especially of his own shadow. It's big and black, and it has really big teeth. Wolf is embarrassed. The other wolves will surely make fun of him! But one day, by a stroke of luck, Wolf discovers that his shadow can be very useful too...A moving story about a wolf who overcomes his fears. For brave (and not so brave) children ages 4 and up.

“A story that echoes the classic Aesop’s fable, with a valuable lesson for readers to take away. Parents and educators alike can use this offering to discuss themes and moods such as loneliness, fear, bullying, forgiveness, friendship, and, most important, acceptance of oneself and others….A valuable read-aloud about accepting oneself and one’s peers.” – School Library Journal (Margie Longoria, Mission High School, TX) "A wonderful story for children who have fears, feel embarrassed about themselves or just do not realize that they are as good as anyone else. The illustrations are large, well done and show wonderful emotions on the face of the wolf. This is a story of victory and overcoming your fears. A great book for a parent to read to their children as well as one for primary classrooms where there might be some issues with fears, teasing, acceptance etc.” — Caroline Johnson-Hicks, educator
