“This is a warm wonderful book about friendship and difference.” “There once was a rabbit who had never seen a wolf... and a young wolf who had never seen a rabbit.” And so the tale begins.
The wolf has lost nearly everything on his journey to the zoo, including an eye and his beloved pack. The boy too has lost much and seen many terrible things.
The boy stays each night until the wolf is asleep and returns before he wakes. One day Africa does something “strange that calms the wolf and makes him feel more at ease. The boy closes an eye.”
