When wolves disappeared from Yellowstone Park in the 1930s, the ecosystem started to collapse...until in 1995, wolves returned to the park and everything began to change for the better. This is the story of their homecoming.  This inspiring true story shows that every species plays an important part in protecting our planet.

★ "Desmond’s soft but poignant illustrations set a strong tone, with soulful portraits of individual wolves, vast landscapes of mountains and meadows, and scenes of wolves ranging through the habitat."
