Brothers of the Wolf

This is the tale two wolf cubs raised as human children in a village on the Pacific coast. The two brothers are very different from one another. One feels most at home in the forest, while the other loves the sea. When they undergo a supernatural transformation, the brothers must part ways. But they soon discover how the power of their howling voices can unite to save the world from uncertain darkness.

Elements of traditional storytelling, including a glossary of terms and images brings the reader knowledge of the First Nations people in this collection of books. This collection of books is useful in literacy planning, specifically, storytelling skills.

The themes found in this story are: family relationships, respecting the environment, and choices.
