Wolves is picture book written and illustrated by Emily Gravett, published by Macmillan in 2005. Her first book, it won the annual Kate Greenaway Medal from the professional librarians as the year's best-illustrated children's book published in the U.K.[2][3] It was also bronze runner up for the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize in ages category 0–5 years.[4]
