“Aoyagi's illustrations effectively contrast harmonious shapes of the pristine natural world with jagged shapes in the illustrations of logged forest, log trucks, and [the] helicopterA commendably effective and unvarnished presentation of wolf culling, for readers who are ready for it.” —Kirkus Reviews “Robertson effectively engages readers’ emotions through empathy for Spur.” —School Library Journal “An evocative book.” —Baby Librarians “Evocative artwork of wolves in their natural habitats enhances this empowering story.” —Omnilibros “Eliza Robertson’s debut children’s book is a very touching one, but is also a creative and gentle approach to an important issue about protecting wild wolves. This book is a great way to showcase this to children and teach the importance of protecting animals’ natural habitats. And Nora Aoyagi’s beautiful illustrations of wintery landscapes and wolves are the perfect touch.” —Bookalong “There is a message about the impact of human activity on the wild wolves of North America, and a gentle urging for those creatures to be protected.” —Book Riot
