The Pancake Girl

Math Monday is coming. It is Frankie's least favorite day. But this Monday will be different for Frankie and for Ruby, the new girl at Thanks-Welcome school. Ruby is a math-a-magician. Math makes her feel fluffy but meansters make her feel flat like a pancake. Big-hearted Frankie helps Ruby find the courage to share her math magic. Together the two new friends chase away their Math Monday blues.

Because sometimes the best way to help change the world is to start small

The Pancake Girl is the first book in the series Frankie and Peaches: Tales of Total Kindness. The series was created to help children explore the concepts of empathy, compassion, and kindness and encourage them to believe they can have a positive impact on their world.

Brave, big-hearted Frankie and her floppy-eared pal Peaches have a very long can't-wait-to-do list: grow butterflies, make marshmallow shoes, grow a smile machine, make some furry-feathery friends and end the math Monday blues. But their most important mission of all is to break the chain of bad feelings, turn frowns into smiles and bullies into buddies. Follow along with Frankie, Peaches and the Thanks-Welcome kindness crew in this five-part K-4 series and find out why it's cool to be kind!

Frankie and Peaches Tales of Total Kindness is published by Favorite World Press and was written by Lisa S. French, author of the Eco-Pig series (Abdo Publishing), and illustrated by award-winning artist Srimalie Bassani.
