Bret Manley is a devoted dad, loving husband, and former Officer in the U.S. Naval Reserve who understands the magic of bedtime stories that spark joy and wonder. His love for dinosaurs and fatherhood inspired What If Daddy Were a Dinosaur?—a book that captures the thrill of childhood imagination and the special connection between parent and child. When he’s not dreaming up prehistoric adventures, Bret enjoys playing anything with his kids (but especially dinosaurs), singing and playing in a band, amateur photography, and gardening. He and his wife and two children live in Washington, D.C.
