More about the book...
Bruno the bear and his bright flamingo friend Ronnie embark on an adventurous journey to Texas in search of dinosaur tracks. Along the way, they meet a friendly cowboy lizard named Charlie Brooks who leads them to a secret ranch where real dinosaur footprints—and even a T-Rex family—await. Together, they play games, share stories, and discover that friendship and courage can lead to magical surprises. Their adventure ends with a joyful picnic and the realization that the greatest treasures are new friends and unforgettable memories.
Sandra McDougall, affectionately known as a “Jane of All Trades,” has spent decades immersed in the creative industries of TV, film, art direction, design, and illustration. Her multifaceted experience has equipped her with invaluable skills, wisdom, and a deep sense of purpose, inspiring her to embark on a new venture that channels her creativity into meaningful work. Pursuing her lifelong passion for storytelling and artistic expression, Sandra founded Happy Quill—a company devoted to publishing children’s books. Drawing from her extensive career, she writes and illustrates stories that help children navigate the challenges of growing up, focusing on themes of friendship, empathy, and resilience. Each book is thoughtfully crafted to teach young readers the importance of understanding and supporting one another.
Becoming an author and illustrator later in life has invigorated Sandra, providing daily fulfillment as she shares her journey and hard-earned lessons with young audiences. Happy Quill stands as a testament to her belief that it’s never too late to follow your dreams, make a positive impact, and begin a new chapter that celebrates creativity, connection, and the courage to start anew.
