Testimonials

'Thank You' from the bottom of my heart for sharing Frankie with us. You truely do an outstanding job helping to teach children about our differences and overcoming challenges in our daily lives! Students saw that even with a disability there is great ability in all of us!  -Marisa M. Kluth, Third Grade Teacher, Sheboygan Falls Elementary School

Your message was very uplifting and so perfect for children to comprehend.  You went above and beyond my expectations.  Frankie is truly a gift from above to us all!  -Amy Nelson, Teacher at St. John the Baptist School

Excellent!  Great use of time moving from book to Frankie, to her dog cart.  Kids were stimulated-- it never got boring.  Keep doing what you are doing.  You are by far the most organized, well-planned, and prepared presenter I ever worked with.  -Julie Hauk, Teacher at Longfellow School

I received this book as a gift and loved it.  Every kid that comes in my house is required to read the book with me.  This inspirational story teaches children love, compassion and courage.  It put a big smile on the face of a kid who's in a wheelchair.  -Lin Fong-O'Neil, Children's author of Tiger! Tiger! Tail on Fire!

Author Barbara Techel and Frankie left a lasting impression with all the families who attended the presentation.  The program was wonderful and ideal for audiences of all ages. Their book "Frankie the Walk'n Roll Dog" was a fascinating addition to our collection.  We are looking forward to a return visit! -Aimee Steinbruecker, Youth Services, Sheboygan Mead Public Library
