Dear Melanie, Take a look at A Cultivated Wolf by Pascal Biet - I love it! Also look at Kerenza Ghosh’s chapter in my book, Challenging and Controversial Picturebooks: Creative and Critical Responses to Visual Texts.(Routledge 2015). Her chapter, Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Children's responses to the portrayal of wolves in picturebooks, includes a good overview of wolves in children’s literature - picturebooks in particular. Hope this helps and good luck with your work.

However, I am struggling to find anything on the use of such characters in picturebooks as a metaphor for marginalisation. Does anyone of any sources that might help? > > Many thanks in anticipation > > Best wishes > > > Mélanie McGilloway > MA Children's Literature Student, Roehampton University > www.librarymice.com > Twitter: @librarymice
