Eight year old Susan lives on a farm in Vermont with her mom and dad and brother, Eddie. A litter of pigs is born on a blustery March morning and one of them is weak and small and probably won't survive in the barn with the others. Susan pleads with her parents to let her take the baby pig into the house to try to save him. In Susan's care, the little piglet survives, and a strong bond develops between him and Susan. Pinkie captures the hearts of everyone in the family, but not without getting himself and Susan into lots of trouble. Their story is about making mistakes, facing danger, learning to trust, and growing up. For middle-grade readers, or a read-aloud story for younger children. Age 3-12. 76 pages.
