A boisterous wolf pup and an awkward young porcupine are unlikely allies in this tale of friendship set on Alaska’s tundra. When the pair are brought together by a trapper’s snare, they must learn what it means truly to be friends.
Gently inspired by the fable of “The Lion and the Mouse,” young readers will learn about living in the wilderness and the sometimes unexpected connections that arise in our lives.
