"The story is really told by the big, bright picturesâwhich glow with the rhythms and beauties of this remote habitat...Enthralling fare for budding naturalists." âKirkus Reviews
The Great Bear Rainforest is a majestic place full of tall trees, huge bears and endless schools of salmon. Award-winning photographer and author Ian McAllister's luminous photographs illustrate the story of a lone wolf who swims to one of the small islands that dot the rainforest's coast. The island provides him with everything he needsâdeer, salmon, fresh waterâeverything, that is, but a mate. When a female wolf arrives on the island's rocky shores, she and he start a family and introduce their pups to the island's bounty.
Wolf Island is part of the My Great Bear Rainforest series, which includes The Seal Garden, A Bear's Life and A Whale's World.
