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 familys home with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable adventures. This engaging childrens 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 Frankies daily adventures when he joined the family. As a grandmother, she found her grandchildren eagerly asking about Frankies 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.
