Reviews

Stunning artwork accompanies this legend of a wolf who menaces the town of Gubbio until the Poverello, St. Francis of Assisi, brings townspeople and wolf into harmony. Gentle and moving- The Ottawa Citizen. What makes this story so powerful is the beautiful simplicity of the language and the magnificent illustrations.- Resource Links The quiet of Bedard's narrative is deeply powerful, and children will be intrigued by the afterword, which adds a bit of history to the legend about the saint who talked to animals.- Booklist
