As a father, entrepreneur, and Napa Valley winemaker, I love creating things that bring people together \u2014 and sometimes, that begins with a laugh. I wrote Farty Barty Saves the Day! in 2021 as a way to connect with them during the pandemic, embracing the unabashed potty humor children love. Beneath the laughs, it became a story about friendship, acceptance, and discovering that what makes you different might be your greatest gift.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWhat began as a story for two children inspired me to keep writing. Now, with two young children of my own, I\u2019m developing more Farty Barty adventures\u2014including a sequel that makes potty training a little less intimidating and a lot more fun. Whether I\u2019m crafting a wine or dreaming up Bart\u2019s next adventure, I love creating things that bring people together\u2014and sometimes, that begins with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fb-signature\">\u2014 Ralph Hertelendy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"fb-contact\" class=\"fb-contact\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"fb-eyebrow\">Literary inquiries<\/p>\n<h2>Let\u2019s turn the next page.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"fb-contact-copy\">For representation and publishing conversations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a class=\"fb-inquiry\" href=\"mailto:Ralph@Hertelendy.com\">Contact the author \u00a0 \u2197<\/a><\/section>\n<footer class=\"fb-footer\">\n  <span>Farty Barty Saves the Day!
