Reach for this book when your child expresses frustration with household rules or wonders if life would be more exciting as someone else. It is the perfect antidote to the 'grass is greener' syndrome, helping children process feelings of restlessness and the desire for total independence. Moka the dog decides he is tired of being a pampered pet and sets off to live as a wild wolf, only to find that freedom comes with hunger, cold, and loneliness. Through Moka's humorous and slightly humbling journey, children explore themes of identity, gratitude, and the safety of family. It is an ideal pick for preschoolers and early elementary students (ages 3 to 7) who are testing boundaries. Kasza's storytelling helps normalize the natural urge to explore while gently reminding young readers that being cared for is a special kind of magic.
