Hello,
I was working at Waterstone’s after graduating when Wolf Brother came out and I absolutely loved it! I’m now having the great joy of sharing it with my children, and am struck again by the incredible realism of Wolf and his perceptions and “wolf talk”. My daughter is fascinated by it, and I wondered if you’ve done a post, or have in a form you can easily send us, a glossary of the body language they use to communicate? No worries if not easily done – we’ll just have to reread it and make our own!
I’ve looked online and have only found a glossary of the Wolf point-of-view vocab, which is also delightfully convincing but which sticks in my head more easily anyway.
Thank you for a truly incredible series!
All the best,
Ella

Dear Ella, how lovely to hear that you are now enjoying the books with your daughter.  I’m afraid that I’ve never done a post of any kind of glossary about the wolf talk body language; and my notes on this are very messy, because they were scrawled over the years as I kept learning more about wolves.  I can read them, but I don’t think anyone else would be able to make head or tail of them (if you’ll forgive the pun!).   Thank you for getting in touch – and may the guardian run with you both!  With best wishes, Michelle
