Description
With lyrical text by Kersten Hamilton and luminous illustrations by Jaime Kim, First Friend is an exploration of how the wild wolves became dogs, and how we learned to communicate and grow alongside the creatures we love.
Long, long ago, when the world was new... a girl met a pup.
In those days, everyone knew that wolves and children could not be friends. Still, they learned from each other—how to hunt, how to trade, how to survive, how to play. And years and years went by, and the world spun and changed. And then—a boy fished with a wolf, and a girl traded with a wild dog, and animal and human grew up side by side... into the best friends we are today.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
School Library Journal praises Hamilton's simple yet effective lyrical text and Kim's warm, vivid artwork, calling it a perfect choice for story time and discussions about fact and speculation. Kirkus Reviews finds the book delightful and especially appealing for young readers who love or wish for a puppy.
