On My Mountain
ORCA BOOK PUBLISHERS
Both the perspective of the wolf and the shepherd are seen in this flippable picture book.
Both the shepherd and the wolf live on the mountain. They love their home and want to
feel safe there. This book tells the same story, in identical words, from both the wolf’s
perspective and that of the shepherd. Read the wolf’s story then flip it over and read the
shepherd’s story and see the landscape that each of them sees. A good reminder of how
humans should behave in the wild and on this earth that we share.
