Lakota the largest wolf in his group
is also the "omega," bottom level in the wolf pack. This
true story follows Lakota and his pack from their youngest
days as pups. From the beginning Kamots is confident and
fearless, while his brother Lakota remains timid and
reticent. As the wolf pack grows, with three new wolves
joining the pack, his gentle disposition causes the other
wolves to bully him unmercifully. Sometimes all of
them except Matsi, attack him at once, causing poor Lakota
to shrivel to the ground Lakota's future looks bleak,
until Matsi second wolf in command challenges the
aggressor wolf. Will Matsi’s brave protection be enough to
save Lakota? A Friend for Lakota, is an exciting,
unforgettable story, that demonstrates bullying occurs in
ALL groups, AND gray wolves are an endangered species that
need to be protected. (Pennsylvania Young
