Frecko the Gecko

Frecko was different in one special way: He longed to go places far, far away.

Frecko the gecko lived in Mexico with lots of other geckos. He ate yummy insects and scaled big walls like everyone else, but Frecko dreamed of more. His heart yearned to travel to faraway places and explore the unknown. One day, Frecko took a leap of faith and hitched a ride in a tourist's luggage. He sat in the dark and imagined where he would go-perhaps another warm place or somewhere with snow? After climbing into a cozy coat pocket, Frecko found himself gliding across a sparkling white landscape, surrounded by towering peaks! Where would Frecko end up on his first big adventure?

In this heartwarming story, inspired by the author's real-life experience of finding a gecko in her luggage, readers will learn that bravery and dedication can make their dreams come true.
