  6. Lucy Rowland's rhyming picture book on being the star of your own narrative. Wolf enjoys reading. There is only one issue. He begins to comprehend something as he reads more. Every novel has a hero; the heroes are attractive, rugged, and powerful, and they are never, ever wolves. But, when a giant stomps into the library one day, can Wolf summon the confidence to speak up? Because heroes don't always have to be attractive, rough, and powerful. True heroes, like Wolf, maybe gentle and fearless.


    Lucy Rowland is a child speech and language therapist. Her previous expertise and enthusiasm for her work inspired her to take the plunge into creating picture books. She likes camping, baking, and long walks on the beach when she isn't daydreaming about tale ideas, reading A. A. Milne, or coming up with new rhymes. Lucy Rowland now resides in London.
