“Gorgeous.”—The New York Times • Best Books of 2022 lists: NYPL, School Library Journal, The Globe and Mail, Indigo • JLG Gold Standard Selection • Moonbeam Children's Book Award Winner • Kids Indie Next Pick

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 realizes 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 humor, darkness, and insight reminiscent of Jon Klassen and Edward Gorey, Sid Sharp turns the idiom “wolf in sheep’s clothing” on its head.

This award-winning hilarious and touching graphic novel debut about the pressures of conformity and conquering fear by finding community is the perfect contemporary folktale to press into the hands of anyone who has felt they need to pretend to be someone else.

From School Library Journal

Gr 2–5—Meet Bellwether Riggwelter, a sheep who loves blackberries, the smell of flowers, and crafting. Bellwether lives in a cozy cabin in the forest, where he keeps his curtains drawn and the door always locked. This forest is home to terrifying wolves, and Bellwether is resolute in his determination to not become dinner. One day, finding himself out of blackberries, Bellwether summons all his courage and enters the forest to collect some more. After a frightening encounter, the sheep devises a clever plan: crafting and donning a wolf costume, allowing him to go about the forest as he pleases. The costume is so convincing that a pack of wolves invite Bellwether to a gathering later that evening. Much to his dismay, Bellwether finds his wolf suit tearing at the seams and is running out of time to fix it. At the gathering, the suit unravels, leaving the sheep completely exposed. The conclusion that follows reveals several surprises, and paves the way for new friendships and growing community. Some spreads are completely wordless, while others include dialogue or minimal narration. This modern folktale emphasizes themes of being yourself and confronting fears, featuring captivating mixed-media illustrations; eagle-eyed readers will notice the palette growing softer and lighter as the story progresses. VERDICT A timeless message presented in an enthralling tale. Highly recommended for purchase.—Olivia Gorecke

“Poignant affirmation that friendships can blossom when we are brave enough to reveal our true selves.”—Kirkus Reviews
