Hello, I'm Xián, I'm from Galicia, Spain, I don't know much English, but I try,
I'm going to start reading Brother Wolf in high school
I wanted to know what inspired you to make Brother Wolf.

Michelle Replies…

Hello, Xian. You can find the full story of what inspired me to write Wolf Brother on wolfbrother.co: go to the Cave, then Why I wrote Wolf Brother.  But in short, the story was sparked by my childhood love of wolves and the Stone Age – and then by a very frightening encounter with a large black bear and her two cubs when I was out hiking in a forest in California.  I hope that helps – and that you enjoy Wolf Brother, and maybe the rest of the books in the series!  With best wishes, Michelle
