About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they are standing on the outside looking in, particularly if they struggle with feelings of being different or unwanted. It is a powerful choice for children in foster care or those who feel a deep, unspoken connection to nature that others do not seem to understand. The story follows Raul, a lonely boy at a boarding school who believes he turns into a wolf every Wednesday. While the premise sounds like a monster story, it is actually a grounded and lyrical exploration of identity, belonging, and the healing power of indigenous heritage. It is best suited for ages 8 to 12, offering a sophisticated but accessible look at how finding one's history can lead to self-acceptance.
