From the Author

It is my hope with Frankie the Walk 'N Roll Dog book series that I can bring positive awareness to animals with disabilities.  I also hope that Frankie will help children around the world realize that their challenges are stepping stones to something greater, and that they can always be positive no matter what their challenges.  It is also my hope that Frankie will inspire everyone to consider giving back to their communities despite any obstacle that they may face.
Frankie has been my greatest teacher and not a day goes by that I don't thank God for the gift of her and the many blessings she has brought to my life

From the Inside Flap
