Publisher's Synopsis
The cultural revolution of the 1960s gave rise to mind-changing activism through the seventies. From its epicenter in San Francisco emerged a traveling environmental education program featuring a live wolf ambassador. When program founder John Harris meets native poet-activist Coyote, a creative fire is set ablaze, fanned by the winds of radically shifting politics. Requests for appearances nationally pour in. The grassroots program moves into high gear when charismatic white wolf Slick steps into the role of ambassador. Slick's blooming thespian gifts lead to sellouts at the Smithsonian Institute, appearances in two National Geographic hardcover books, and a gig at Carnegie Hall in New York City, where Slick howls with two thousand people. In 1978, teacher and animal lover Pamela Brown joins Slick and John.The reader rides in the wolf van, Snowbear, and experiences the unique grassroots adventure coast to coast, filled with humor, wolflore, and politics. The dramatic surprise ending guarantees readers will never forget Slick's teachings.
