Hilbbán is a reindeer who wishes she were a wolf, since she would get to run with a wolf pack, howl, rear up on her hind legs, and bare her teeth. This book is a good fit for children who are looking for protagonists who are daring, and is an especially good fit for children who like to dream and fantasize.
