The action packed adventures of Hush McCormick, the lovable boat bum who just can't stop himself from helping others, continues with Pig In A Poke, the third in the trilogy. One editor calls it a "wild ride" and another "the best Swanson has written to date." The saga follows a star high school athlete who takes everything for granted including the consent of the opposite sex on dates. In a thriller that crosses America to Mexico and Cuba, the reader is drawn to the drama through the eyes of the FBI, NSA and the thugs that threaten Hush's client as well as his own reputation. Says one reader: "A plot driven tale that would make Elmore Leonard proud."

This charming picture book celebrates all our differences while questioning the idea that there is only one way to be “normal.” Pip is a normal pig who does normal stuff: cooking, painting, and dreaming of what she’ll be when she grows up. But one day a new pig comes to school and starts pointing out all the ways in which Pip is different. Suddenly she doesn’t like any of the same things she used to...the things that made her Pip. A wonderful springboard for conversations with children, at home and in the classroom, about diversity and difference.
