About the Author
Barbara wrote Frankie, The Walk ‘N Roll Dog to give hope and inspiration to all who face challenges. Her life time love of animals lead her to realize that Frankie s paralysis was an opportunity to spread a positive message. Barbara receives constant compassionate reactions when she is out with Frankie in her local town. People are fascinated by the little dog with tires, frequently asking her what happened to Frankie. The warmth, kindness and encouragement from strangers, as well as family and friends, lead Barbara to writing this, her first children s book. Since 2005 Barbara s column, For the Love of Animals has appeared in the Depot Dispatch. Her column shares stories of the daily antics and lives of her four-legged companions as well as other furry friends she has met. Barbara hopes Frankie s story will help anyone facing a challenge to realize they always have a choice as to how they will overcome a challenge and that hope is all you need to move forward.

My Review: I loved this book and it will be one of the first books I read to my new class in August.  I know children will love it because children love hard luck stories (overcoming adversity) and animals!  I never knew they had such a thing for dogs and I wonder if many people do unless they have a pet that needs a wheelchair!  I love the way this books tells the story from the pet’s point of view, and there is unconditional love throughout the story.
