Author of: Sports Shorts & The Warriors

Joseph Bruchac was born in Saratoga Springs, New York, and grew up in the Adirondack foothills. He began to take an interest in his Abenaki heritage when he was a teenager. Mr. Bruchac has written many books, poems, plays, and short stories—most of which include tales, characters, and teachings from his Native American roots. Performing as a storyteller allows him another way to preserve his Abenaki culture.

Some of Mr. Bruchac’s best-known children’s and young adult books include Skeleton Man, The Winter People, How Chipmunk Got His Stripes, and a picture book about lacrosse, The Great Ball Game.

Mr. Bruchac and his wife Carol live in Greenfield Center, New York.
