The delightful children’s picture book Frankie the Fart Wants a Friend by Daniel Huerga takes young readers on a whimsical journey with Frankie, a lovable, friendly fart facing an unusual, or perhaps usual, predicament: he has no friends. Illustrated by David Kantrowitz, the book entertains and teaches valuable lessons about normal body functions and friendship. Frankie is a unique protagonist—made of gas—who struggles to connect with others because no one finds him welcoming. The story unfolds with humor and warmth as Frankie attempts to forge relationships, only to be met with reactions ranging from amusement to outright avoidance.
Imagine having Dr. Seuss, Eric Carle, and Maurice Sendak in a room and asking them to collaborate on a children’s book. The result would likely resemble Daniel Huerga’s Frankie the Fart Wants a Friend. This book is exactly what a children’s book should be. The meter is spot-on, the illustrations perfectly complement Frankie’s character, and each page bursts with vibrant colors and expressive artwork, capturing both the silly and endearing aspects of Frankie's personality. As Frankie navigates the ups and downs of his windy adventures, youngsters are treated to a narrative that blends fun and heartfelt moments. Frankie the Fart Wants a Friend is a charming and engaging read that will leave both children and adults chuckling and reflecting on the power of acceptance and friendship. It’s a reminder that sometimes it may take time to find true connections, but when we do, it’s well worth the wait. This book showcases storytelling at its finest, and Frankie’s story will entertain children for years to come. It’s a perfect classroom read-aloud and a fun bedtime story.
