Summary: Explaining the Harsh Realities of Our World to the Innocent
Comment: When September 11th, 2001 passed through our lives, I wondered how I could explain this horrible event to my children and other children. Usually, I am not tongue-tied, but in this situation I was. How can I simultaneously be honest and not cause children to suffer from anxiety, fear, and nightmares? How could I possibly hope to make something positive from this ugly situation? I wanted to minimize and avoid the topic. Yet, I knew my children could sense how deeply this had impacted all of us and they deserved some explanation.
This wonderful book, "Frankie Wonders...What Happened Today?" , provides me with words and pictures that help me talk to my children, provided me with peace of mind to have discovered it, and provided me with a tool to happily share with others. It includes all of the important elements of good children's literature: a character to identify with, a sense of safety, a positive outcome, and genuine feelings. Frankie experiences a range of feeling throughout this book. And in the end, discovers safety and a positive direction to take his feelings.
I recommend this extraordinary book to any parent or person who wants help explaining the harsh realities of our world to the innocent. Bravo! Thank you Yvonne Conte!

Summary: Great Memorial to those who died and who helped that day!
Comment: I read this wonderfully illustrated book to my little sister and it was a great way to get us talking about all kinds of things. I will keep this book on my shelf as a reminder of what a fantastic country we live in and how everyone came to help when the people of NY needed help. We should all be very proud of where we live and of what our country stands for and this book is a good way to keep that thought alive. THREE CHEERS FOR FRANKIE!!

Frankie is every child and adult in the United States. We are all concerned "Are we safe?" all kids wonder "Is daddy safe is Mommy safe?" This book really delt with all of out concerns. Not to mention the kids really liked the book and read it all the time now! I loved it.
