Frankie's Favourite Words
by Nicole Crimi and Julia ten Hove


Every child is unique. Just as each child is different, each child’s adventures will be different too! Join Frankie as she dives into a great underwater adventure! With her brother by her side, Frankie will use her favourite words to adapt to the underwater world and learn about all her new-found abilities. These six favourite words, known as the “F-words” for child development, will help Frankie and you – Frankie’s Friends – discover your own adventures and decide how you want to face them. Originally designed by CanChild as a guiding approach to childhood disability, The F-words for Child Development are based on the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Framework. This book helps readers learn how they can use the F-words in their own lives to discover all of their unique abilities. A portion of profits from this book will be donated to CanChild to support research supporting childhood development.
