French author Nadine Brun-Cosme and artist Olivier Tallec invite that discovery with great tenderness in Big Wolf & Little Wolf: The Little Leaf That Wouldn’t Fall (public library) — the sequel to their uncommonly lovely parable about loneliness, belonging, and how friendship transforms us that remains one of my favorite books of all time.
