"Franklin the Frog" was originally written by my late wife when she was in the 5th grade. She passed away from a brain tumor in 2003. While she was sick I began redrawing the pictures from her original book. The story of "Prince Franklin" is a story which reflects the way she lived her life. In the story, "Prince Franklin" has been turned into a frog. When the opportunity arrives to return to his life as a prince, he must make a choice... After Erin passed away, I too was faced with a choice. We had moved to Boise Idaho a few years prior. I still had family and a job hundreds of miles away in Oregon. While in Boise, we had found a network of friends who selflessly gave their time and opened their hearts to help us through Erin's illness. While putting the book together I realized, like Franklin, I had to make a choice. Do I go back or do I stay in Boise? In the end I made the right choice. And found my "Freeda Frog" too Brian Baker
