A NOTE FROM AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR JILL L. KUCZMARSKI
ABOUT US
Hi, I'm Jill, the creator of Happy the Hodag and Buddy the Bulldog! I'm also the author and illustrator of all of the Happy the Hodag books, and really, all things Happy. Why did I create Happy the Hodag and Buddy the Bulldog? Well, there are many different depictions of hodags in my hometown of Rhinelander, WI and when I was growing up all of these hodags were shown to be mean and scary. I decided to add a new kind of hodag to the landscape and in 2006 I created Happy the Hodag to have traditional hodag characteristics, but in a more accessible style for children. Happy was the first hodag character to be specifically created for children. These days there are a LOT more hodags in and around the Northwoods—both friendly and scary.

Happy the Hodag, and most times Buddy the Bulldog, star in my children's books Tales From The Trees (2006), A Monster Misunderstanding (2007), and HODAG, A Happy the Hodag Book (2016), along with nine NEW friendly hodags. HODAG, Color The Seasons (2019), was my fourth Happy the Hodag book and featured eleven NEW Hodag depictions, with Happy on the back cover. It’s the exploration of what hodags are up to season by season in a keepsake coloring storybook.

Suffice it to say I've created my fair share of friendly hodags over the years, but there will always be the one and only Happy :)
