About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses concern about the environment or asks how humans can fix the mistakes we have made in the natural world. It is the perfect choice for children who are beginning to understand the delicate balance of life and need a concrete, hopeful example of how conservation efforts can actually succeed. The story provides a gentle way to discuss ecological responsibility without feeling overwhelming or overly didactic. The Wolves of Yellowstone follows the true story of the gray wolf's return to the park after a decades-long absence. Through beautiful illustrations and clear prose, it explains the concept of a trophic cascade: how bringing back one predator restored the rivers, the trees, and many other animal species. It is a sophisticated yet accessible look at interconnectedness, making it ideal for curious children aged 5 to 9 who are ready to move beyond simple animal facts into deeper scientific concepts.
