Willa the Wolf

Reach for this book when your child expresses feeling like an outsider because of their unique preferences, particularly regarding food or lifestyle. It is a perfect choice for the 'picky eater' who feels pressured to conform to family or peer norms, or for the sensitive child who struggles with the expectations of their social group. The story follows Willa, a young wolf who discovers she prefers eating vegetables over meat, much to the confusion of her pack. It explores themes of self-confidence, identity, and the courage required to be true to oneself when your heart leads you in a different direction. Parents will find it a supportive tool for validating a child's autonomy and normalizing the experience of being different within a community. It is most effective for children ages 3 to 7 who are beginning to navigate social hierarchies and individual identity.
