Hi, I am Orla Harris and I really hope you enjoy my books about Wilbur and his friends. I live in the Irish countryside on a farm with my husband and 3 children. A lot of our time is spent outdoors and I have spent years watching the wild animals and thinking about how fascinating it is how they all live together. I imagine these amazing friendships they have and how they help one another through life. This has been my inspiration for Wilbur and I hope it helps children understand the very special relationship and the importance of friendship and helping one another.
