On My Mountain

by François Aubineau, illustrated by Jérôme Peyrat, translated by Orca Book Publishers

tagged: wolves & coyotes, environment, country life
Description

Both the shepherd and the wolf live on the mountain.

They love their home and want to feel safe there. This book tells the same story, in identical words, from both the wolf’s perspective and that of the shepherd. Read the wolf’s story then read the shepherd’s story and see the landscape that each of them sees. A good reminder of how humans should behave in the wild and on this earth that we share.
