Oh, those golden-yellow eyes of the wolf! You can feel yourself being pulled in. I knew I had been accepted - and that I had spoken to another species.
From Jean Craighead George
Never before had I been offered a contract and advance before a word had been written... I went home and began writing 'Julie of the Wolves.'
I have discovered I cannot dream up characters as incredible as the ones I meet in the wilderness.
There are always the kids who just love animals. Unfortunately, though, people have become afraid of the outdoors.
I met senators, diplomats and the President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
I kept on writing and illustrating, for this is what I did well because I loved it.
My writing process is a mix of research, personal experiences, washing the dishes, raising kids while thinking - then writing.
Doing interesting things and then writing about them is the best way to become a good writer.
I would just watch the animals, and their stories would roll out when I wrote.
