The True Story of an Endangered Cub
Written by Debra Kim Wolf

ABOUT THE BOOK
This heartwarming true story follows Zoya, the only surviving cub of critically endangered Amur tigers at the Philadelphia Zoo.
After her mother rejects her, dedicated zoo staff race to find her a new family. They discover Lola, a Sumatran tiger who has just given birth to three cubs at the Oklahoma Zoo, and venture out with Zoya to try something that has never been successfully done before.
Zoya is transported across the country to meet Lola. The zookeepers anxiously wait to see how Lola will respond to this unfamiliar cub. Will she accept Zoya into her den? Will Lola have enough milk for all four cubs? Will Zoya adapt to her new family, even though she looks and acts differently? As Zoya grows, her story is marked by moments of uncertainty and hope, leaving animal lovers to wonder what the future holds for her and the survival of her species.
Her remarkable journey highlights the profound bonds that unite all creatures and underscores the vital importance of conservation efforts. After meeting Zoya and reading her story, continue on for more fascinating facts about Amur tigers and learn how the Tiger Conservation Campaign and Tiger Species Survival Plan® contribute to their future. Discover how fresh genes can be introduced into the wild population to make them healthier, efforts to reduce poaching, and how villagers are helping to build tiger-proof pens for their farm animals!

This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with us!
i’m excited about the environmental science aspect of this and how many doors of inquiry it will open.
Sounds like a wonderful book to open up conversation about a myriad of topics, the conservation efforts and the plight of endangered species, of course, but possibly even “found” family and other related topics.
What a wonderful book to share with my ENL students! I can’t wait for the student s to connect with this book.
Our students love animal books in general, but they especially love true stories about endangered baby animals. I would be thrilled to add this to our library!
This is an amazing book. I can’t wait to add it to our library. Thank you.
