Following the Moon

Following the Moon

Summary

This Christmas introduce someone to a wise and aged wolf who takes a young, lost pup on an unforgettable journey . . .

----

There are times when we have done everything we can do. Then we must learn to step back and allow the universe to play out in all its unfathomable wonder. . .

Deep in the silent mountains wanders Amaya, a lost pup searching for her parents after a terrible snowstorm which, for the first time in her life, leaves her alone.

Until she meets a wise and aged wolf who, having saved her life, becomes her guide on an unforgettable adventure to follow the moon.

As they make their way through day and night across a wintery landscape, together they both learn profound lessons about love, sacrifice, life, loss and ultimately change.

James’s books and illustrations have inspired millions around the world, touching deep spiritual chords with readers. In this, his fourth book, he takes readers, old and new, on a quest that will stay with them forever.
