With lyrical text by Kersten Hamilton and luminous illustrations by
Jaime Kim, First Friend is an exploration of how the wild wolves
became dogs, and how we learned to communicate and grow alongside the
creatures we love.
Long, long ago, when the world was new. . .a girl met a pup.
In those days, everyone knew that wolves and children could not be
friends. Still, they learned from each other--how to hunt, how to trade,
how to survive, how to play. And years and years went by, and the
world spun and changed. And then--a boy fished with a wolf, and a girl
traded with a wild dog, and animal and human grew up side by side. .
.into the best friends we are today.
