Book Description
The Wolf was Not Sleeping is a heartwarming bedtime story specially written by Avril McDonald to soothe the anxiety of children whose parents work as first responders and to encourage conversations which help them manage trauma. Wolfgang's dad works as a helper: when the wolves sound the alarm, he has to leave to help the other creatures in the forest. Each night Wolfgang worries about what might happen if his dad gets the call. His worries are so bad that they keep him awake, and he is falling asleep in the daytime instead! Spider leaves a note for Big Dad Wolf to show him how worried Wolfgang is. Big Dad Wolf realises he needs to sit down with Wolfgang to reassure him, and tell him about what happens when he goes to help in the forest. Wolfgang learns that things aren't always as bad as they seem. There are lots of ways in which we can tell or show people how we are feeling - and if we can name a feeling, then we can tame a feeling. An ideal bedtime read for young children whose parents are first responders, whether they be firefighters, police officers, ambulance crew, coastguards, or work in any other roles within stressful environments. Customer notice: this book is best viewed using a full-colour reader. Part of Avril McDonald's Feel Brave series - little stories about big feelings.

Night of the Wolf
Author: Alice Borchardt
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345455533
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
The Silver Wolf, Alice Borchardt's acclaimed novel of a shapeshifter's struggle to survive as woman and wolf amid the Dark Ages, announced the arrival of a ferociously gifted writer. Now, with her masterful weaving of adventure, history, and magic, Borchardt delves deeper into the shape-shifter legend, and brings an earlier, more savage time brilliantly to life. The fearsome legions of Julius Caesar have crushed resistance to Roman rule. The power of the druids is broken; the shattered tribes retreating to the dubious safety of the high mountains or fleeing north into lands as inhospitable as those left behind. Watching all the while through yellow eyes afire with curiosity and intelligence is Maeniel, a gray wolf . . . who is also a man. This is not the Maeniel of The Silver Wolf. Not the mature shapeshifter, secure in his dual nature, whose hard-won wisdom is the equal of his preternatural strength and passion. That Maeniel will not exist for another eight hundred years. Now he is a stranger to his human half, his reason chained to instinct. Yet as the ancient civilization of the Gallic tribes is systematically destroyed around him, a new Maeniel is about to be born from the ruins. It begins with a woman. She is Imona: young, proud, beautiful. The sight of her fills Maeniel with unfamiliar feelings and desires, triggering his transformation from wolf to man. In her arms he learns for the first time what it means to love. It is a knowledge that will change him forever. For when Imona vanishes following a Roman massacre, Maeniel begins to learn a very different lesson. Following Imona's trail as wolf and man, Maeniel is himself pursued by a warrior woman sworn to kill him. She is Dryas, a queen without a kingdom. But the two adversaries will prove to have much in common. And the hunt upon which they embark will lead them farther than they can imagine: to the gates of Rome itself. To the gates of their very souls . . . With Night of the Wolf, Alice Borchardt has given us another triumph of soaring imagination and adventure. By turns lyrical, sensuous, and violent, hers is a vision of the past that will stir both heart and mind. Her writing will possess you like a fever . . . and haunt you like a voluptuous dream.

Inti Flynn arrives in Scotland with her twin sister, Aggie, to lead a team of biologists tasked with reintroducing fourteen gray wolves into the remote Highlands. She hopes to heal not only the dying landscape, but Aggie, too, unmade by the terrible secrets that drove the sisters out of Alaska. Inti is not the woman she once was, either, changed by the harm she’s witnessed—inflicted by humans on both the wild and each other. Yet as the wolves surprise everyone by thriving, Inti begins to let her guard down, even opening herself up to the possibility of love. But when a farmer is found dead, Inti knows where the town will lay blame. Unable to accept her wolves could be responsible, Inti makes a reckless decision to protect them. But if the wolves didn’t make the kill, then who did? And what will Inti do when the man she is falling for seems to be the prime suspect? Propulsive and spell-binding, Charlotte McConaghy's Once There Were Wolves is the unforgettable story of a woman desperate to save the creatures she loves—if she isn’t consumed by a wild that was once her refuge.

Sleeping with Wolves
Author: Ken Fischman,
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781534834682
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Book Description People are natural storytellers. Basically this is how our ancestors and contemporary indigenous folk teach and learn. I continue their traditions in these stories because I have seen the power of such tales to change hearts and minds. In these stories, myths, and essays I blend traditional lore with scientific facts while sometimes enclosing hidden nuggets of wisdom. Some of these tales are garnered from my own experience or from delving into scientific publications. Others I have gathered from quite disparate sources, such as Native American legends, myths, and East Indian oral history This series of interlocking stories reveals a collective theme. Although each story is self-contained, in their totality, they demonstrate a crucial connection between the natural world and the one that mankind is increasingly inventing, often without awareness as to the consequences for ourselves and the rest of the community of life. The first tale, "Sleeping with Wolves," demonstrates through my up-close-and-personal encounter with these enigmatic canids, the two sides of our relationship with nature: one of common origin and natural affinities, and the other of atavistic fears that cause us to attempt to control or destroy nature. "Doctor Pusztai's Dilemma and the Mexican Maze" is a description of the powerful forces in our present culture that oppose a few courageous scientists who attempt to warn us of the possible dangers of genetically engineered food. "The Tracks at Chauvet Cave" is a scientific detective story but one in which our growing concern for the safety of an unknown child, who lived more than 20,000 years ago, reveals that we are basically still the same people who gathered and hunted during the Stone age. The story "The Incredible Shrinking Megafauna" shows what profound effects both our deliberate and unintentional actions have on the animals with which we share the Earth. "The Pleistocene Massacres" is yet another detective story. Did we kill off the large North American mammals when our ancestors migrated from Siberia, and why is the answer of vital importance to us 10,000 years after the fact? "People of the Earth" reveals the astonishing accuracy of the oral histories of indigenous peoples. In one tale a 7,000-year-old American Indian legend, demonstrates that Earth-based peoples literally have some important things to say to us, if we are only willing to listen. "The Fisherman and the Wolves" tells of my chance encounter with a seemingly jolly old man who suddenly becomes darkly angry. The tale shows how false and persistent stories, some of which had their origins in old European fairy tales, may lead to unreasoning hatred and a second extinction of the wolf so recently reintroduced into the Rocky Mountains. The concluding essay, "My Son, the Indian," introduces the reader to a cast of charming, picaresque, and sometimes outrageous characters, who are leading a growing movement, dedicated to reconnecting children to the natural world.
