Illustrated by
Ted Rand.
In this picture book, adapted from a sequel to Julie of the Wolves, Julie's brother Amaroq raises a wolf pup, Nutik, and his heart is broken when Nutik must return to the pack. Rand's realistic illustrations depict native Alaskan life and Amaroq's growing relationship with the wolf pup; they show as well Amaroq's joy when Nutik chooses to stay with his human family instead.
