A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

'Genuinely lovely. A gorgeous palette of colors and emotions with illustrations that leap off the page.' - Matthew Forsythe, creator of MINA, and Pokko and the Drum

A hilarious and touching graphic novel about the pressures of conformity and conquering fear by finding community.

Bellwether Riggwelter is, once again, out of blackberries. This time, rather than tiptoe through a forest full of predators, he comes up with a new plan. He will keep himself safe by blending in - he will sew a Wolf Suit! The disguise works perfectly...sort of. Bellwether realises he can't

enjoy the forest in a bulky suit, and he may not be the only creature in

the forest who feels that way. Perhaps not everyone is as wolfish as

they appear.

With humour, darkness, and insight reminiscent of Jon

Klassen and Edward Gorey, Sharp turns the idiom 'wolf in sheep's clothing' on its head. The perfect contemporary folktale to press into the hands of anyone who has felt they need to pretend to be someone else.

Reviews for The Wolf Suit

A lovely, lush allegory about the joys and terrors of trying on a new look. -Michael DeForge, Eisner Award-nominated creator of Sticks Angelica, Folk Hero Genuinely lovely. A gorgeous palette of colours and emotions with illustrations that leap off the page. -Matthew Forsythe, creator of MINA, and Pokko and the Drum The gorgeous black and dark blue backgrounds, thick with night, make the opening of the curtain, and the sunlight that spills onto the last page, feel like another undressed window through which we can better see the self. -The New York Times A timeless message presented in an enthralling tale. Highly recommended for purchase. -School Library Journal, *starred review Poignant affirmation that friendships can blossom when we are brave enough to reveal our true selves. -Kirkus Reviews
