Ways of the Wolf (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966413134)

Colorado Springs, Colo. - Tactical 16 Publishing announced today the signing of John Caccitolo for Ways of the Wolf. Caccitolo's children's book provides parents with a powerful way to share essential life lessons, even in times of separation.

"I wrote the story for my son before leaving on a deployment, said Caccitolo, a father of three who served in the U.S. Army Special Forces and now works in the defense industry. "My wife, Kelley, thought it could offer other parents a way to share traditional values and help children grow into confident, humble, and respected members of their communities. The story is about a wolf who must leave his son to keep danger from the den and the life lessons he imparts on him should he not return."

Caccitolo weaves powerful life lessons into this beautifully illustrated book. He captures children's attention through the voice of a devoted wolf parent-teaching children about courage, honesty, emotional self-control, and the importance of choosing friends wisely. It encourages young readers to trust their instincts, protect the ones they love, work hard, and persevere through challenges.

"John's tale is so helpful to parents as they navigate raising kids and imparting solid values," said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. "The story shows children what it truly means to grow with strength, kindness, and character-embracing the Ways of the Wolf as they discover who they are meant to be."

Caccitolo lives with his family in Arizona and is currently pursuing a dual MBA through Cornell University and Queen's University at Kingston. In his free time, he enjoys woodworking, hunting, scuba diving, skydiving, chess, and playing the piano and guitar.
