My inspiration for 'Dinosaur Discovery Quest - Lila, Tilly and Sparky's Forest Feast' came from watching my grandchildren's magical childhood moments as they explored the woods near our home on the West Sussex coast. I wanted to create a story that captures the wonder of unexpected friendships – like when a grumbly tummy leads to a grand adventure! Growing up, I loved tales of dinosaurs and dragons, and I imagined what might happen if a friendly, hungry dragon wandered into a peaceful forest. The idea of Lila, her dino-friend Tilly, and the lovable Sparky coming together for a shared feast reflects my belief that the best connections are made through kindness, discovery, and a good meal. As a local author, I hope this book sparks imagination in young readers and reminds them that new friends can appear in the most surprising places.
