The Wolf Pelt

Bellwether Wool-Winder is a sheep. He loves eating blackberries more than anything. But in the forest, where the juiciest berries grow, hungry wolves are lurking. Without further ado, Bellwether fashions himself a wolf suit. The ruse works, and Bellwether is welcomed into the wolf pack. But then his disguise begins to tear. Just as Bellwether has resigned himself to his fate, he experiences a surprise: none of the other wolves are what they pretend to be.

With this debut, Sid Sharp confidently transcends the genre boundaries of the picture book and graphic novel. The story of Bellwether Wool-Winder turns the proverb about the wolf in sheep's clothing on its head. Only when we let our masks fall and show our vulnerability do genuine encounters become possible.
