Sylvie And The Wolf

Sylvie has a secret. She’s seen a wolf in the woods and is afraid to tell anyone about it. She thinks people won’t believe her or will make fun of her. As her fear begins to control her life, she stops going to the woods, spending time with friends, and doing the things she loves. Eventually, with the encouragement of a loving aunt, Sylvie is able to confront her fear. She learns that instead of running or hiding, she can live alongside her anxiety. She also learns that everyone is dealing with something that scares them—even the wolf. This beautifully told story has a fairy-tale feel that is wonderfully captured through the art of Merce Lopez. It shows children the importance of emotionally caring for themselves, giving love and empathy to others, and understanding the negative nature of secrets.

Ideal for readers interested in early childhood fiction.
