The Journey to Becoming a Writer
If you were to ask my high school English teachers, they’d probably be surprised to learn I became a writer. I used to be uninspired and disinterested in writing.
But that’s the beauty of life – it allows us to transform and exceed our expectations. Writing became my way of sharing observations and insights to inspire others. It’s a reminder that we can all discover our passions, excel through hard work, and make a positive impact.
Writing helped me break free from self-doubt and fear of failure. It’s challenging but incredibly rewarding, which is why I persist.
I love writing books to help all different types of people. These are the books I’ve written so far.

An absolute delight and a kid must have
This story of friendship and resilience feels like a warm hug for kids and their guardians alike. Fred’s journey is filled with lessons on kindness and staying true to oneself.
Ondrako’s storytelling is both heartwarming and engaging, making it easy for kids to connect with Fred and learn valuable life lessons along the way.
The illustrations are vibrant, bringing Fred’s world to life in a way that makes story time extra special. It’s a wonderful addition to any child’s bookshelf and a story that I’ll gladly recommend to other guardians, parents and educators. Truly a heartwarming read!

Great Read Even For Grown Ups
Another excellent children’s book by Brian Ondrako. A couple of reviews suggested 6+ as the ideal age group for the book and would agree with capturing the message as my son is four, but the visuals are great for any age, and there are some mindset reminders for parents. I look forward to what’s next!

Great Kids Book... Amazing Idea
I bought this book for my Great Nephew & Niece and can’t wait to share it with them. What a great concept for a children’s book. I think we all could benefit from relaxing our brains. Brian hit it right on the head (no pun intended). The illustrations and colors on the pages are amazing. I absolutely adored his dedication to his NANA!

Mindfulness for kids!!
This book is great to help kids be mindful and to check in with themselves. Every time I read it to my kids, I find them closing their eyes and breathing a bit deeper. As someone who meditates for 5 mins daily, this book is a great way to start the conversation of why, and how to look deeper into yourself at a child’s level.

Heartfelt story for moms and dads alike
Great story and easy read while teaching kids some great life lessons. The sweet bond between dad and son in this book will touch dads hearts and make moms appreciate the priceless bond between dad and child. My girl loved the illustrations in this book and so did mom. A must read!

Loved this fun book for kids!
We really enjoyed this book and sharing it with our children. My 7 year old daughter learned more about golf and recently decided to head out me with to play. She is already asking to go back when it warms up. The story is well written and the illustrations really bring it to life. This was a great buy and a fun gift for kids!

One of our favorite children's books!
What a fantastic book that delivers not only stunning illustrations but great life lessons for kids! We have a 4 and 5-year-old and not only do they love listening to the book, they love flipping through the book and looking at the pictures in their own time. It’s a little longer than most children’s books, so we split it over a couple nights and it always leaves the kiddos excited to continue reading the next evening. Unique and fun- a must buy!
