Ten-year-old Hannah has Down syndrome and oodles of courage, but should she trust the alluring tree creature who smells of Mamma’s perfume or the blue-eyed wolf who warns her not to enter the woods under any circumstance?

A word from the Author

I would like to provide a bit of background to the story and explain what inspired me to write The Wolf and the Favour.  First of all, it's dedicated to a boy named Daniel, a boy who taught me as much as I taught him. Allow me to explain...

Many years ago, in the very early stages of my teaching career, I had the pleasure of teaching a little boy named Daniel, the boy to whom this book is dedicated. Daniel had Down syndrome, but he also had an incredibly supportive family, a big personality, and a heart of gold. I always knew he would go far, and he has done.

He loved stories, and I was thrilled when I discovered he was working at his local library. Though we lost touch many years ago (Daniel is now an adult, and I have moved 100 miles away), he was close in my thoughts as I wrote this story and will always remain in my heart. I hope readers enjoy it.

Catherine McCarthy

The Wolf and the Favour is a tale of love, trust, and courage. A tale that champions the neurodivergent voice and proves the true power of a person’s strength lies within themselves.
