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.
