Farty Barty Saves the Day!

At the heart of the book

Sometimes, the thing that makes you different makes all the difference.

With playful rhyme and a generous helping of humor, Bart’s adventure turns an embarrassing problem into an unexpected gift — a story about friendship, acceptance, and finding your place.

Behind the story

A note from
the author.

What began as a story for my niece and nephew grew into a celebration of the wonderfully unexpected things that make us who we are. As a father, entrepreneur, and Napa Valley winemaker, I love creating things that bring people together — and sometimes, that begins with a laugh.

— Ralph Hertelendy
