Description

鈥淕辞谤驳别辞耻蝉.鈥浓赌�The New York Times 鈥� Best Books of 2022 lists: NYPL, School Library Journal, The Globe and Mail, Indigo 鈥� JLG Gold Standard Selection 鈥� Moonbeam Children's Book Award Winner 鈥� Kids Indie Next Pick

Bellwether Riggwelter is, once again, out of blackberries. This time, rather than tiptoe through a forest full of predators, he comes up with a new plan. He will keep himself safe by blending in鈥攈e will sew a Wolf Suit! The disguise works perfectly . . . sort of. Bellwether realizes he can鈥檛 enjoy the forest in a bulky suit, and he may not be the only creature in the forest who feels that way. Perhaps not everyone is as wolfish as they appear.

With humor, darkness, and insight reminiscent of Jon Klassen and Edward Gorey, Sid Sharp turns the idiom 鈥渨olf in sheep鈥檚 clothing鈥� on its head.

This award-winning hilarious and touching graphic novel debut about the pressures of conformity and conquering fear by finding community is the perfect contemporary folktale to press into the hands of anyone who has felt they need to pretend to be someone else.

鈥淎 timeless message presented in an enthralling tale. Highly recommended for purchase.鈥�

- School Library Journal, *starred review

鈥淭he gorgeous black and dark blue backgrounds, thick with night, make the opening of the curtain, and the sunlight that spills onto the last page, feel like another undressed window through which we can better see the self.鈥�
