Wolf in the Snow is adapted from the classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. A picture book with almost no words, it won the Caldecott Gold Medal in 2018. It is a story about kindness, bravery, trust and friendship. During a blizzard, a little girl who loses her way meets a little wolf cub who fell out of the wolf pack. They rescue each other, help each other and finally find their way home.
While this is a story of a little girl and a wolf, it is different from the familiar one we all know. There is no deceit or trickery in this story, and the wolf does not die tragically. Based on the true nature of wolves, the story depicts a moving story of a girl and a wolf helping each other, which not only ‘washes away’ the stigma we place on wolves, but also lets us experience the beauty of love.

Certainly, we all know Disney’s little yellow bear, a simple, happy bear and a real honey lover. But where does his image come from? Where does his story originate?
Finding Winnie, a 2016 Caldecott Gold Medal winner, tells a new story about Winnie the Pooh. When the First World War broke out in 1914, Harry, a young veterinarian living in Winnipeg, was forced to take a train to the battlefield. The train moved forward and stopped at a platform. When he got off the train for a stretch, he saw a little bear cub held by a man on the platform. He thought it was not an ordinary bear. After hesitating for a long time, he finally bought the little bear for 20 dollars.
Years later, people saw a cute bear in the London Zoo who was exactly like Winnie. In times of war, the love and friendship between humans and animals is heartwarming.
