Danny Krebs writes children’s books, and honestly, his favorite part is watching young readers finish one with a smile still on their face. A lot of his ideas come from real dogs he has known and from his time teaching through the University of California, Irvine Young Writers Program.
His stories stay on purpose. Full of friendship. Kindness. Courage. Danny has always believed kids don’t need a big hero or a complicated plot to enjoy a good story. Sometimes all it takes is a small adventure and a friend who cares. That’s really what he hopes for. That’s why every Milo and Sandy book feels like one worth picking up again.

Over time, their little quirks and everyday moments turned into the characters children now love to read about, along with their friends Oscar, Kevin and Wally.
Danny’s goal isn’t to fill every page with lessons. First, he wants children to simply enjoy the adventure. If they happen to take something good from the story too, that’s even better.

Above all, Danny hopes each story leaves young readers smiling long after the last page.
