Description

Join us for a reading of "Dasha on the Trail" a new children's book set in Mission Trails. Author Gwynne Bruck will sign copies of the book. The new children's book, Dasha on the Trail, is a hike through Mission Trails Regional Park as seen from eyes and snout of a lighthearted pup, Dasha. She sniffs out animals on the trail like mischievous ravens and her leash-free cousins, the coyotes. She longs for freedom but knows a tame dog might not know all the tricks of this untamed world. Author and illustrator Gwynne Bruck will read and sign copies of Dasha on the Trail outdoors in the MTRP Visitor Center amphitheater where the audience can enjoy the sights and sounds of the park. Families with children are encouraged to attend, but please leave your furry friends at home. The book will be available for sale at the event and in the Visitor Center Gift Shop. This free event is co-sponsored by Sunbelt Publications. In addition to the reading, the audience will hear about how to safely explore Mission Trails and other open space parks with your pooch, and children will have the opportunity to do a scavenger hunt and other activities in the Visitor Center. About Author Gwynne Bruck: After twenty five years as a boat captain, Gwynne decided to change course and began writing and illustrating children’s books. In her first book, she highlights some of the local wildlife that Dasha points out on their hikes together. It is her hope that readers will learn a little about their wild neighbors and go out and explore the beauty of San Diego’s open spaces.
