About the Book



"Sea Wolves: Keepers of the Rainforest is the astonishing story of a wolf species that calls the shores of western Canada and southeastern Alaska home.

However, with the rise of industrial logging, pipeline projects, and other threats, sea wolves face a troubled future. Wildlife experts and First Nations members agree: these majestic creatures are a vital part of the ecosystem and need to be protected. Through beautiful verse and striking illustrations, Sea Wolves captures the fascinating life of an animal with great cultural and scientific significance-one that will inspire awe in young readers"--

Review Quotes




★ "Poetically written, this picture book beautifully captures the essence of the sea wolf, especially its place within the Indigenous cultures of the lands where the sea wolf resides. Few words are used on each page, but the phrases that are selected for the narrative elegantly describe the behavior of sea wolves and how they interact and thrive in their natural environment. Rich colors and heartfelt imagery accompany the text, and the two work together to tell the story of the sea wolf in a way that resonates with readers of all ages. Back matter provides readers with more insight into the sea wolf from a scientific and a personal perspective, which serves to anchor the importance of the sea wolf in the mind of readers. VERDICT This lovingly designed, poetic book introduces young readers to the life and challenges of the sea wolf species."--School Library Journal, starred review

"Lyrical glimpses of the little-studied wolves that live along the edges of the Northwest coastal rainforest... (with) expansive, atmospheric coastal scenes, (this book is) informative as well as evocative in both art and writing."--Kirkus Reviews
