Winter Cub
by Ilse de Keyzer

Winter Cub isn't allowed to hunt with the rest of the pack. The big wolves think he's too small. To prove himself worthy, he sneaks away one cold winter's night. Little does he know, this night is a special night. When Winter Cub encounters a group of reindeer taking a rest from pulling a sleigh, he creates a bit of a problem. Is Winter Cub big enough to make everything right again? A heartfelt tale about curiosity, confidence, and choosing your own path. Lively illustrations capture the magic of winter, and features a little ode to Christmas.
