A Lesson for the Wolf

By Rachel Qitsualik-Tinsley, Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley and Alan Cook

A cheerfully illustrated tale that presents native interpretations of Arctic animals inspired by Inuit storytelling traditions In the time before animals were as they are today, Wolf spent his days admiring all the other animals. Not content to simply be a wolf, happy and hunting with his pack, he watches the owls, wolverines, and caribou with envy, wishing that he could be like them. Wishing he could be anything other than a wolf. When the magic of the land finally grants his wish, Wolf finds out that what he admires may not be what he really wants in the end.

Reviews for A Lesson for the Wolf

[frozenteacher · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This beautiful story of a wolf who so admired other animals that he wanted to be something other than a wolf. Though his efforts failed, you can’t miss the underlying message of appreciating differences and accepting ourselves…just as we are.
