Pre-order now! 

Cedar the red wolf has always wondered if there are other red wolves like him in the wild. So when a plucky cottontail rabbit named Lemon stumbles into his clearing and takes him up on his offer for an adventure, an unlikely friendship is formed as the pair embark on a journey, leaving their home at the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge for the first time. Along the way, Lemon and Cedar meet a seabird on the sandy beaches of the Outer Banks, discover large, winged predators while traveling through a swamp, and have a close call with a four-legged foe in a corn field. Despite the obstacles they face, Cedar and Lemon persist on their quest, searching for red wolves and finding friendship along their way to the Great Dismal Swamp.

A portion of the author's proceeds go to the Red Wolf Coalition.

Why a story about a red wolf and a rabbit?

​

 1. Rabbits are cute.

​

 2. The red wolf is endangered.

​

 3. The sooner our children learn     about conservation, the better!

​

 4. The idea of a wolf befriending a   rabbit is preposterous! And I love   preposterous things.
