Publisher's Synopsis
While watching this tiny bird (Frankie) the last 4 years, Ilene noticed obvious metaphors of his life that paralleled hers. One thing she learned from Frankie is that fear is not an option. It's been Ilene's joy observing Frankie puddle through difficult situations. He's gone from being fearful, stuck, hiding safely inside the cage to becoming comfortable with his environment and catapulted into a whole new world around him. Ilene wants children, teens, and families to realize through Frankie that there is hope, and there is help. She wants them to know that they can arise out of whatever difficult situations that come their way.
