Wolf and His Shadow

Thierry Robberecht (1960) has two children and lives in Brussels (Belgium). He has been writing children's books since fifteen years now, often about subjects that children find difficult to talk about, e.g. secrets, death, envy and rage. He likes to create characters who feel like they don't fit in. Loufane's real name is Stephanie Frippiat. She was born in 1976 and grew up in Aarlen (Belgium). For years she fantasized about making a big journey. Now that dream has become true: she now lives in Saint-Nicolas (Canada) with her boyfriend.

“A story that echoes the classic Aesop’s fable, with a valuable lesson for readers to take away. Parents and educators alike can use this offering to discuss themes and moods such as loneliness, fear, bullying, forgiveness, friendship, and, most important, acceptance of oneself and others….A valuable read-aloud about accepting oneself and one’s peers.” – School Library Journal (Margie Longoria, Mission High School, TX)"A wonderful story for children who have fears, feel embarrassed about themselves or just do not realize that they are as good as anyone else. The illustrations are large, well done and show wonderful emotions on the face of the wolf. This is a story of victory and overcoming your fears. A great book for a parent to read to their children as well as one for primary classrooms where there might be some issues with fears, teasing, acceptance etc.” — Caroline Johnson-Hicks, educator
