“Whine, whine, whine”
Since this book doesn‘t have words, I think a good lesson in the classroom for it has to do with comprehension having the students write words for the book.

This book is good for independent reading (no words), but you could make a read-aloud work too, (maybe). I think most kids will enjoy the content (friendship with/helping out an animal).
pickA wordless book about a girl who helps a wolf pup lost in the snow and gets some help in return. Very sweet. The personable illustrations tell the story perfectly- no words are needed anyway! The book describes itself as a “satisfying story about friendship and trust“.
pickI‘d imagine it‘s difficult to maintain a tight organizational principle and condense your thoughts when your book hinges on an epiphany about how everything is interconnected. But imagine?! Berry would‘ve been unstoppable! As it is, her concept is phenomenal and there are some deeply thoughtful passages and beautiful sentences. If you like nature writing, and you‘re a patient reader (or listener)…👇🏻
“To love anyone, anything, means accepting the limits of your own control.”
“We inherit our biological families and decide how close to keep them. We have chosen families only if we try.”

Chosen family (who deserve more of my time & attention).
although this book doesn‘t have any quotes, the visuals are able to show emotions of the characters. The illustrator uses different tones in the book to describe the girl and her feelings and the wolf‘s feelings. Because this book does not have texted, allows the illustrations to really come to life and share the story.
