"When Ella tossed a note with her voice, Louis grabbed it back with his trumpet.
The music would push and pull, push and pull.
Until the music note started to swing.…" -

Graphic that reads, "Ever wonder where our best friends first came from? This Wolf Was Different. A picture book tale grounded in natural history. Written by Katie Slivensky and Illustrated by Hannah Salyer. Available anywhere books are sold. Published by Beach Lane Books of Simon and Schuster." A photo to the right is of the picture book THIS WOLF WAS DIFFERENT being held in front of a dog on a couch. The wolf on the cover has a close-up of her face from the eyes up. The book is held over the face of the dog so it matches the dog's face from it's nose down, completing the image. Photo credit: Jason Jong.
"Long ago, a pup was born in a forest. Many different animals lived there. Cave bear, giant elk, tiny, fuzzy voles...
But this pup was a wolf. And so were her brothers and sisters.
Although her brothers and sisters were much more... wolfish than she."
