Description
The remarkable story of Vancouver Island's lone wolf, Takaya, is told in this charming, lyrical picture book for infants.
Takaya, the lone wolf, wakes up on a quiet bluff and sets out to discover the calm, gentle beauty of his coastal home. Encountering a variety of colours and other wildlife, and witnessing the beauty of the natural world, Takaya spends his day wandering, hunting, eating, howling, resting, and sleeping.
This charming book, available as both a board book (ages 0-3) and a picture book (ages 3-5), features poetic text and stunning photos that illustrate the natural splendour of Takaya's island refuge.
Ages 3-5
