With a heart full of stories and a mind brimming with adventures, Francis loves to spend the day on his favorite lily pad with a stack of books by his side. A bandana stays tied around his shoulders for a fun fashion statement. Some have said it looks like a cape! Every now and then, a small beetle or snail will come by for a visit, and Francis can’t resist telling tall tales and weaving these friends into the plot.
