For four years, the family lived on a hundred acre farm in Kentucky, Here young Sandra grew especially fond of riding and training horses, and became a dog owner for the first time.
Living in the country also provided plenty of time for reading, a life long passion, Sandra illustrated her first book in: The Teddy Bears' Picnic, a popular children's song by Jimmy Kennedy.
That same year, she was visiting Zurich, Switzerland, when she came across a volume of old German picture sheets, one of which featured a poodle playing with a baby who was supposed to be taking a nap.
This image proved the inspiration for Good Dog, Carl, The Darlings' own dog, a Rottweiler named Toby, was the model for the The Flight of a Dove's main character, Since then, two other Darling Rottweilers have posed as Carl in the seven sequels: the late Arambarri, who was named for one of the Darlings' favorite jai alai players and Zabala, who currently moonlights as an Our Best Friend therapy dog, visiting hospitals to cheer patients.
About her work Sandra says: "I think that one of the reasons my illustrations have appealed to people is that they can sense my sincerity.
I know that marvels exist which are just outside our ordinary experience, but that at any moment we may turn a corner and encounter one of them.
Children also believe this, and because they and I have this conviction in common, we, as creator and audience, make good partners.
