Huson’s fifth book in the Mothers of Xsan series is a beautifully illustrated story about a pack of BC grey wolves.
Gorgeous paintings by a Metis illustrator accompany Huson’s fifth book in the Mothers of Xsan series. Huson, an award-winning storyteller from the Gitxsan Nation in northwest BC, describes the life cycle of a grey wolf from its birth to pack leader. Insets on each page define terms which may be unfamiliar to young readers. A description of the Gitxsan nation and a map of their territory is included.
