Brooks’ favorite animal is the Red Wolf. After learning they are endangered, with the remaining population living near us in North Carolina, and became interested in them. He loves following updates about their pack and has visited the Red Wolf Preseve in NC—- Because of this, Brooks’ dream is to grow up to be a wildlife rescuer.
Brooks’ favorite thing to do is pack his ‘adventure backpack’ before heading outside for an adventure. He brings his ‘field tools’ i.e. magnifying glass, book of creature cards, his joke book :) and either explores the creek or rides his bike through the neighborhood.
