Patsy Dingwell lives with her husband Rodney on their family farm in Marie, PEI. When she is not reading, writing or travelling, she likes to help with the potato harvest. It was during this time when Freda the Fry came to be. Realizing that many are now disconnected from farming practices, she could not resist creating the story of how potatoes become fries!

As a mom, grandmother and retired education assistant, she would love to get the story of PEI potatoes into the hands of children who do not have a chance for first-hand farming experiences. This is her second book.
