About Me

- Barbara Techel is the author of the multi-award winning Frankie, the Walk ‘N Roll Dog book series.

Oh the Places Frankie Goes!
My friends at a school in Canada are one of the best things that has ever happened to me! They love to follow my journey, and I in turn, love to watch all the things they learn because of me. It truly humbles a little dog on wheels I tell ya!
Their awesome teacher, Karen started a Wiki sight with all their Frankie stories and drawings. I'm not real up on what a Wiki is, but I can tell you one thing... I LOVE ALL the pictures and stories and everything these kids are doing!! See for yourself!

Join Frankie and I as we visit Elizabeth Aquino's, the moon worn as if it had been a shell blog Elizabeth is a published author, mom and advocate for her daughter who has severe disabilities.
I was honored Elizabeth asked me to share with her readers how Frankie's book could help kids who have friends or siblings with disabilities. Helping them to realize that kids (and dogs!) with challenges simply want to fit in.
