Family Pack

Reach for this book when your child is feeling lonely, facing a daunting new environment, or struggling to find their 'pack' after a move or school change. It follows a young wolf who is relocated from Canada to Yellowstone National Park, where she must learn to survive on her own in a strange land. It is a powerful metaphor for the isolation and fear that comes with displacement and the eventual hope of finding belonging. While based on true wildlife restoration efforts, the story focuses on the emotional journey of resilience and the courage it takes to start over. It is ideal for children ages 6 to 10 who are developing their sense of independence and navigating social structures. You might choose this to help a child see that being alone is a temporary state and that finding your place is a journey worth the effort.
