In common with all these books from Barefoot Books, the illustrations are stunning -- just look at the atmospheric cover. In a small village in the snowy north Maria stumbles upon a mysterious gray bundle, covered in wintry snow. It's an abandoned wolf cub! Grandfather is hesitant to support his granddaughter s plan to nurse the cub to health, but soon Maria and Shadow warm the hearts of almost every villager. A heart-warming story but with a sad and emotional ending. --Parents in Touch
