Allow yourself to be enchanted in this magical story of Sophy, the young girl whose extraordinary adventure with a real wolf helps her discover her inner confidence.
Sophy is a shy girl
who struggles to fit in in the outside world. She is happiest at home, playing in her wolf suit in her den. It makes her feel strong like a wolf, fierce like a wolf, and maybe even a little bit brave like a wolf.
She loves her suit so much she decides to
wear it to school
one day, but it doesn't go well
. She tries to talk at school but the words get stuck in her throat and
everyone laughs and whispers behind her back
. But one day, an extraordinary thing happens…
Sophy is
whisked away to a magical snowy land
where she
meets a wolf and her cub.
The unlikely trio roll, run and howl together, playing happily in the snow.
Sophy has found friends
and nothing can ruin her day… until a big, angry bear appears.
But Sophy
finally finds her voice
and
finds the courage
she's been looking for all along.
This beautifully told and enchantingly illustrated story carries important themes of
overcoming the isolating feeling of being shy
,
finding friends
and most importantly
, finding your voice
, and will delight readers young and old.
