Okay, Pod Squad. Today is a very big day, at least in my world, because my debut picture book,

the Wolf Packway, it is here and it is available now wherever books are sold.

I can't actually believe it.

I can't.

I know, it's so precious and wonderful and I'm so happy for you and all the little ones.

I know, but it's been like five years since the launch of the Mama Bear, the

Wolf Pack book.

I know.

So it's just been such an honor to have shared that adaptation of my 2018

Barnard speech. The speech in which I said this, if I could go back and tell myself one thing, it would be this. You were

never Little Red Riding Hood. You were always the wolf. And I know in my bones that everything depends on young people becoming, creating, and demanding a better way forward.

So I took my number one New York Times bestseller Wolfpack and I adapted

it for young readers because I want to do my part in ensuring that the next generation,

you know, knows that you are the wolves and

you have the power to change the world. It's been incredible to hear stories from and

witness so many folks across different generations and backgrounds living out the Wolfpack ethos,

unleashing their power, uniting their pack, and changing the game. Now today in celebration of the

fifth year since Wolf Pack's release I'm thrilled to share the Wolf Pack way for an even younger generation, the

Wolf Pups. This picture book edition, it's illustrated by the amazing Debbie Ramalia.

It's just such a joyful read aloud that will encourage kids to be their true selves,

dream big, and work together as a pack to change the world.

The Wolf Packway is dedicated to our goddaughter Drew.
