The Adventures of Frank and Mustard with Simon Calcavecchia

Book cover: The Adventures of Frank and Mustard by Simon Calvecchia

Simon Calcavecchia was pursuing his dreams of being a rugby player when he sustained a spinal cord injury. Education and a foray into hip-hop ultimately led him to create a series of children’s books starring the characters of Frank (a wiener dog who has two wheels) and his pal Mustard (a yellow bird). They go on adventures based on Simon’s real life experiences such as “Stuck in the Mud.”

Along with his illustrator, their mission is to create more children's books with themes of inclusion, kindness, and never giving up! Hear more about the books, Simon’s work with children in the community, the Frank and Mustard hip-hop songs, and more in this fun interview.
