This lyrical, stunningly illustrated book explores the sea wolf-an apex marine mammal evolved from the gray wolf-as it navigates the coastline, eats seafood, and lives its extraordinary, unusual life.

This lyrical, stunningly illustrated book explores the sea wolf-an apex marine mammal evolved from the gray wolf-as it navigates the coastline, eats seafood, and lives its extraordinary, unusual life.

Sea Wolves- Keepers of the Rainforest is the astonishing story of a wolf species that calls the shores of western Canada and southeastern Alaska home. Here, wolves crack clams, feast on fish roe, swipe salmon from rivers, and swim miles between islands-as long observed by the First Nations communities that have lived alongside them for thousands of years.

However, with the rise of industrial logging, pipeline projects, and other threats, sea wolves face a troubled future. Wildlife experts and First Nations members agree- these majestic creatures are a vital part of the ecosystem and need to be protected.

Through beautiful verse and striking illustrations, Sea Wolves captures the fascinating life of an animal with great cultural and scientific significance-one that will inspire awe in young readers.

Reviews for Sea Wolves: Keepers of the Rainforest

★ ""Poetically written, this picture book beautifully captures the essence of the sea wolf, especially its place within the Indigenous cultures of the lands where the sea wolf resides. Few words are used on each page, but the phrases that are selected for the narrative elegantly describe the behavior of sea wolves and how they interact and thrive in their natural environment. Rich colors and heartfelt imagery accompany the text, and the two work together to tell the story of the sea wolf in a way that resonates with readers of all ages. Back matter provides readers with more insight into the sea wolf from a scientific and a personal perspective, which serves to anchor the importance of the sea wolf in the mind of readers. VERDICT This lovingly designed, poetic book introduces young readers to the life and challenges of the sea wolf species.""—School Library Journal, starred review ""Lyrical glimpses of the little-studied wolves that live along the edges of the Northwest coastal rainforest... (with) expansive, atmospheric coastal scenes, (this book is) informative as well as evocative in both art and writing.""—Kirkus Reviews
