The crisp winter air is filled with a sudden yowl as feline eyes blink open in the snow. A young bobcat, known as Yearling, is stepping out into the freezing cold to find a home of his very own. As you follow his paw prints through the deep wilderness and into quiet suburban neighborhoods, you will see exactly how this wild cat survives. With a rumbling belly, Yearling crouches in the icy winds, carefully tracking hares, squirrels, and pheasants. He watches. He waits. He leaps. But time and time again, a larger predator beats him to the catch and chases him away. Will this determined young bobcat ever find a safe territory to call his own? With stunning illustrations that make you feel the chill of the winter wind, this exciting journey drops you straight into the hidden life of a stealthy forest hunter trying to carve out his place in a challenging world.
