The Little White Wolf by Lee Allen

He's the only odd colored wolf in their litter.  He's white and he's a runt.  The other wolves want to abandon him because he's so small and won't survive.  They don't even if it means they must hunt for him.  His white fur doesn't camouflage him from the animals...

AuthorHouse and Net Galley  let me read this book for review (thank you).  It has been published and you can get a copy now.

He stays through summer but when winter is setting in there is less food.  He decides to go off by himself instead of being a hardship on his family.  Imagine his surprise when he attempts to catch a rabbit and does!  It seems his fur hides well in snow...

He goes down to get a drink out of the creek and finds his sister drowning.  He's lightweight enough he can save her.  And now he can hunt for his family and help them out, so he goes home.  He's not a burden anymore...
