Roseanne Parry, whose “Voice of the Wilderness” middle-grade series centers on wild animals and their struggle to survive in a dangerous and changing world, joins me to discuss her newest book, A Wolf Called Fire.
A Wolf Called Fire tells the wilderness survival story of the wolf pup known as Warm. It’s inspired by Wolf 8, a real Yellowstone wolf who was the smallest of his pack and constantly bullied by his bigger brothers but grew up to be a different sort of leader – one who fought many rival wolves to submission but never killed any, mentoring young wolves and became the patriarch of the largest and most successful pack in Yellowstone.
