My inspiration for Dinosaur Discovery Quest - Lila and Tilly's Sparkling Forest Adventure came from sunny afternoon walks along the South Downs here in West Sussex. Watching my own little grandchildren dashing through wildflower meadows, picking berries and imagining hidden worlds, sparked the idea of a gentle Triceratops hiding just beyond the garden gate. I wanted to capture that pure joy of childhood curiosity – where a spotty dinosaur isn't scary, but a new best friend wearing a berry necklace! As author Tony Poole, I drew from the whispering woods and sparkling streams near our coastal home to create a tale of kindness, courage, and finding your way with a pal by your side. It's written for little explorers aged 3-6, to ignite big imaginations and remind them that friendship makes every adventure brighter.
