Welcome Friends
What began with writing Farty Frankie and creating its two companion activity books soon grew into something even bigger—an upcoming series of heartfelt stories featuring Frankie and his Forest Friends.
The first book in the series, Am I a Good Boy?, follows Sloth the Raccoon as he bravely asks a question many children quietly carry in their hearts: "Am I a good boy?"
Through gentle storytelling, Sloth and his Forest Friends help children explore questions about self-worth, belonging, courage, and kindness, reminding them that they are seen, heard, valued, loved, and never alone.
At Forest Friends, we believe every child deserves to feel seen, valued, loved, and special.
The adventure is just beginning!
Meet Jackie
Jackie lives in High River and enjoys spending time in nature, reading, horseback riding, and making memories with family and friends.
Although she doesn't have children of her own, she has always shared a special connection with children.
Through her work with children in a shelter setting, Jackie has witnessed how trauma can affect the connection between children and their mothers.
One moment has stayed with her forever—a little boy quietly hung his head and asked, "Am I a good boy?" No child should ever question their worth.
That moment became one of the inspirations behind Jackie's new series, creating books that help every child feel seen, valued, loved and special.
