About the Book
Do you have a pet? Maybe a dog, cat, or goldfish? Frankie the Ferret is anything but ordinary. Through his playful antics and loving personality, Frankie fills his family’s home with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable adventures. This engaging children’s picture book provides a glimpse into the daily life of a ferret and encourages kids to appreciate the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet.
About the Author
Kimberley Ann Paterson resides in Claremont, Ontario with her husband Doug, their chocolate Labrador Molly, and tortoiseshell cat Kitty. She enjoys spending time with her extended family, including her two grown children, their spouses, and five grandchildren. Inspired by her own childhood dream of publishing a picture book and the playful antics of her beloved ferret Frankie, Paterson brings warmth, humor, and real-life charm to young readers.
Inspiration Behind the Book
Paterson began keeping a log of Frankie’s daily adventures when he joined the family. As a grandmother, she found her grandchildren eagerly asking about Frankie’s antics. Motivated by these interactions, she transformed his stories into a book, sharing the joy and unique experience of having a ferret as a pet, a refreshing alternative to the usual stories about cats and dogs.
Message to Readers
“After reading Frankie the Ferret, you will see why he was such a treasured member of our family. Pets of all kinds bring unconditional love and joy into our lives. I hope children and families everywhere enjoy following Frankie’s adventures as much as we have loved living them.”
