Bookroo's summary

A wolf, tired of the bad reputation wolves have, decides to write a story about a kind wolf. As he crafts his tale, he struggles with his own nature. Can he truly change, or will his instincts prevail? Join him on a humorous quest for friendship and self-discovery, where the line between fiction and reality blurs. Will he succeed in changing perceptions, or will his true nature be revealed?

From the publisher

Wolf is feeling offended and indignant: All the wolves he’s ever read about are nasty, scary, and greedy! To set the record straight he decides to write a story about a nice wolf. But will his wolfish instincts get the better of him after all? Author/illustrator Mei Matsuoka’s simple yet sophisticated art imbues Wolf’s story of searching for a friend with wry humor and subtle wit.
