About

Weaving Wild Tales is a publishing company intended for curious kids. Our goal is to create books that make kids wonder about science, become both responsible citizens and environmentally aware. This company, established 2021, was created using the author's family names, Weaver and Wilder. The first story is a collaboration between Melissa and her cousin, Bradley, who spent childhood summers together in Florida. The first story produced by this company was inspired by Melissa's husband, Sam, who always wanted to publish a book about if Dolphins had Thumbs. All stories are about intelligent animals, and protecting them.
