"Striking and provocative." --Kirkus, starred review
In The Five Wolves, beloved picture book author and Caldecott Honor recipient Peter McCarty breaks new ground. This monumental graphic poem is perfect for fans of Shaun Tan and Brian Selznick! Across oceans, through fields, and down tunnels, five daring wolves traverse the planet in search of wonders to draw and paint. All the while, a disembodied narrator spins the tale of their absurdist adventure and asks big questions. What is art? And who does it belong to? Part epic picture book, part graphic novel, The Five Wolves defies genres. With intricate ink work and meticulous hand-lettering, Peter McCarty has crafted an exquisitely illustrated epic poem. The Five Wolves is an entrancing journey and a testament to the power of art and artists.

Critical Reviews
"Striking and provocative... This utterly original book respects its readers, asking them to display patience, have comfort with ambiguity and rereading, and exercise the ability to construct meaning." --Kirkus, starred review
"Increasingly dreamlike sequences culminate in a compelling examination of life, art, and the fantastical oddities inherent in both." --Publisher's Weekly
