Story Prescription: A story about the importance of initiation, and having elders in your life. A story about the importance of those wild barking parts of us that tell us when something is not right, and how we chose to bury them. -Story Caution: A frightening story for children. This one might be for adults or for slightly older children. There are also themes of animal cruelty throughout.
