These teaching resources are designed to help educators guide young children through the book’s rich themes of home, belonging, statues and animals, and to encourage thoughtful discussions and creative responses.

At its heart, Wolf in the City is a story of self-discovery. The protagonist, Wolf, believes she belongs among the grand statues of the city, only to realise that home is not about status or appearance but about warmth, connection, and the feeling of belonging. This narrative offers a wonderful opportunity to explore concepts of place, self-worth, and community with students in an accessible and engaging way.
