"An inspiring read for any child who loves the natural world."--ROSANNE PARRY, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A WOLF CALLED WANDER

Introducing... Yellowstone royalty.

The 06 Female is brave, intelligent, and beautiful. She's bold enough to survive on her own, and strong enough to take down a fully grown elk by herself. Descended from some of the park's most legendary wolves, she seems destined for greatness.

In the world of the Yellowstone wolf packs, alpha females are a powerful force and Wolf 06 is ready to take on the role--she just needs to find a mate who will match her skills with his own.

Based on the observations of renowned Yellowstone wolf expert Rick McIntyre, Queen of the Wolves celebrates Wolf 06 and other alpha females. Their stories will leave no doubt about the legacy of these remarkable wolves.
