Book Synopsis

Wolf lived on a plinth in a tired old square on the edge of a vast and magnificent city. Taken for granted and pooped on by Pigeon, she longs to be admired and to find her place amongst the famous statues in the City Centre. One day she sets off on the bus to do just that, but she discovers that the city statues are mean and selfish. Wolf soon realises that she misses home, and heads back to her old square only to find that her friends there have missed her just as much.

With warmth and humour, this delight of a debut picture book by author and illustrator Rachel Tilda Wolf explores the need to be appreciated and the importance of finding ‘home’.

Our Review Panel says...

This is the author’s debut picture book and it is a magnificent entry into the world of picture books.

Rachel Tilda Wolf has written a heart-warming story of a wolf who feels there is more to life out there in the big city and doesn’t want to be the only wolf in the village only statue in the village. She feels neglected and underappreciated. Though she soon realises that not everyone in the city is as friendly as everyone back home, in her town square, and perhaps she was happiest back where she belonged-even with the pigeons! Upon the wolf’s return, a party is held in the town square in her honour and she now understands that she was missed and is important to the locals.

The illustrations throughout are stunning and have all been done by the author. Each page has so much detail that you will find yourself becoming immersed in the story-wondering about all the people that could be seen and what the buildings might be home to.
