WHY WE LOVE IT

"This is one of the most masterful debuts we’ve had the joy of reading in a long while– and our first ever picture book pick for Book of the Month! Wolf lives on a plinth in the outskirts of a city. Bored of being pooped on my pigeons and ignored, she heads into the big city with the hopes of finding her place amongst the many famous statues. This is a warming, endearing story about the need to feel appreciated and that you belong – accompanied by truly marvellous illustrations."
- Amy, Children's Bookseller

ABOUT THE BOOK

Wolf lived on a plinth in a tired old square on the edge of a vast and magnificent city. Taken for granted and pooped on by Pigeon, she longs to be admired and to find her place amongst the famous statues in the City Centre.

One day she sets off on the bus to do just that, but she discovers that the city statues are mean and selfish. Wolf soon realises that she misses home, and heads back to her old square only to find that her friends there have missed her just as much. 

With warmth and humour, this delight of a debut picture book by author and illustrator Rachel Tilda Wolf explores the need to be appreciated and the importance of finding ‘home’.
