Hello! Hola! Hallo! 
I’m thrilled to share that my children’s book, Have You Seen Frenchie?, is officially self-published and out in the world! 
This project has been a true labor of love, filled with fun adventures, lovable characters, and meaningful lessons for young readers.
What happens when a family of potatoes embarks on a daring adventure to find their missing relative? In “HAVE YOU SEEN FRENCHIE?,” Mama Potato, Papa Potato, and their youngest son Tater set off on a road trip to search for Frenchie. Along the way, they encounter quirky potato relatives like Cousin Chip and Uncle Mash with the stash. This vibrant story is filled with unforgettable characters and vivid settings, complemented by captivating illustrations, conveying valuable themes of family and perseverance.
I hope this story sparks imagination, joy, and a little wonder in the hearts of kids (and grown-ups too)!
I couldn’t have done this without the amazing support of friends and family—thank you all! 
If you know any young readers (or young at heart!), I’d be so grateful if you’d spread the word. The book is available on Amazon in most countries. Here is the USA link if you click HERE FOR – HAVE YOU SEEN FRENCHIE?
Thank you for joining me on this journey! 
GOING NINETY MILES 
Reading about this adventurous potato family’s journey in Have You Seen Frenchie? really took me back to my own experiences trekking through Nepal’s Himalayas. Just like Mama Potato, Papa Potato, and little Tater setting off to find their missing relative, every trek in Nepal is filled with its own kind of adventure and discovery.
Walking through the winding trails from Lukla to Namche, then onwards to Dingboche and Pangboche, you meet not just stunning mountains but also the warm, quirky people who feel like family. Each village, like each character in the story, adds its own flavor and lesson — from the kindness of the Sherpas to the vibrant culture preserved in remote teahouses.
The journey isn’t just about reaching Everest Base Camp; it’s about embracing every step, every unexpected encounter, and every moment of wonder along the way. Just like the potato family’s road trip, trekking through Nepal teaches us about perseverance, connection, and the joy found in the journey itself.
This book beautifully captures the spirit of adventure and family that resonates deeply with anyone who’s ever explored the trails of Nepal or fallen in love with travel’s endless surprises.
