Book Review: It Takes a Forest by Jessie Todd Mayfield, illustrated by Amanda Ravensdale

 

Blurb

It Takes a Forest is a heartwarming tale of courage, community, and the bonds that hold us together. When Mama Wolf discovers her den is no longer safe for the winter, she must make a difficult decision to protect her young pup, Caleb. In the midst of a fierce snowstorm, they venture through the forest in search of a safe haven. Along the way, they encounter creatures who, though kind, are unable to provide shelter. Just as hope seems to dwindle, Mama Wolf finds a family willing to take Caleb in.

As Mama Wolf departs with a tender kiss, Caleb is left with a swirl of emotions-doubt, fear, and curiosity. Can Mama truly repair their den? What will it be like to live with a new family? And most importantly, will she keep her promise to return?


Join Caleb on his journey of discovery as he learns what it means to be part of a new family, while Mama Wolf works tirelessly to secure their home. Through the experiences of both Caleb and his foster family, this enchanting story reminds us all that raising little ones in safety and love takes not just a parent, but an entire forest.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was a touching story with wonderful illustrations. Caleb was a little wolf cub whose mother had to find another home for him while she fixed their current one. I loved how they asked other animals until they found a good home for the winter. Thoughtful questions were at the end, and the reason for the story brought tears to my eyes. A great book to share with family.

I received a copy through RABT Book Tours, and this is my unsolicited review.
