Jack the Wolf cover

This charming tale follows Jack the Wolf, a benevolent creature with a sweet tooth, as he learns about friendship and joy in Colorfull Town.

In Jack the Wolf, Sean Scully, a prominent abstract painter, collaborates with his son Oisin to craft a delightful children's fairytale. Sean's stunning artwork complements Oisin's engaging narrative, creating a unique blend of visual and literary art. The story revolves around Jack, a kind-hearted wolf who resides in a picturesque cave near the vibrant Colorfull Town. His only weakness, chocolate, leads him on whimsical adventures that delight and entertain young readers.

As Jack embarks on his nightly quests for chocolate, he inadvertently causes mischief among the children of Colorfull Town. However, with the help of his new friend Rebecca the Rabbit, Jack learns valuable lessons about friendship and kindness. Together, they strive to bring joy back to the town's children, showcasing the importance of community and support. The enchanting illustrations by Sean Scully bring the story to life, making it a visual feast for readers.

The release of Jack the Wolf coincides with an exhibition at the Cheim Read Gallery in New York City, featuring original drawings from the book alongside Sean Scully's abstract works. This exhibition not only highlights the artistic collaboration between father and son but also promises to attract significant media attention. As the inaugural title in a new children's book series, Jack the Wolf sets a high standard for future collaborations between artists and their families.
