Brooke C is the author of the Wimps of the Wild series. She lives in the Rocky Mountains, where the lack of oxygen in the high altitude makes the wild animals sleepy—so it’s safe for her to hike around and study them for her stories!

She may not be a total wimp, but she’s definitely afraid of sharks, snakes, and chickens (which are really tiny dinosaurs!).

Brooke C lives with three children, one husband, two dogs, three fish, and one snail named Bob. Visit brookec.com to share your stories about being a wimp or being wild.
