Part epic picture book, part graphic novel, The Five Wolves defies genres. Five daring wolves traverse the planet — across oceans, through fields, down tunnels — in search of wonders to draw and paint.
Meanwhile, a disembodied narrator spins their absurdist adventure, asking big questions: What is art? And who does it belong to?
Created by acclaimed (Caldecott Honor) author-illustrator Peter McCarty, this ambitious work uses intricate ink-work and hand-lettering to craft a fully immersive visual and textual experience.
“Striking and provocative… This utterly original book respects its readers, asking them to display patience, have comfort with ambiguity and rereading, and exercise the ability to construct meaning.” Kirkus“…a compelling examination of life, art, and the fantastical oddities inherent in both.” Publishers Weekly
