Jessica and the Wolf

Every night, Jessica dreams of a sleek black wolf who chases her through a dark forest. She's afraid to go to sleep because of these bad dreams. After consulting her parents, her teddy bear, and her own personal "magic," Jessica learns to overcome her fears and chase the wolf away, once and for all.

This spirited adventure, gorgeously illustrated by Tennessee Dixon's powerful, striking images, will teach children to confront their nighttime fears and face down their own private wolves.

A story well-crafted for the purpose of helping children develop and draw upon their own internal resources for mastering disturbing thoughts, fantasies and fears…The solution…is a respectful and joyful celebration of the resourcefulness and personal strength of children.
