The Wolfpack Way

In a picture book inspired by Wambach’s Wolfpack, for adults, the U.S. soccer Olympic gold medalist offers lively affirmations for “Little Wolf”s. Upbeat second-person text enjoins readers to embrace their innate powers, sandwiching key “Wolfpack Way” tenets. Acknowledging life challenges, direct language emphasizes both individuality and collaboration while urging perseverance, pride, and bravery. Rahmalia’s creamy, clean-lined digital renderings showcase realistic school-day moments—a bus ride, art class, more—and loosely follow a blonde-haired child sporting a backward rainbow cap that reads, “We Can Do Hard Things.” Depictions include children of various abilities and skin tones. Back matter summarizes the Wolfpack Way. Ages 3–6. (Oct.)
