Donna Doesn't Listen: Riding the Pigs

On Grandpa Lou's Farm, there's always work to do-and plenty of mischief to be found!

When Donna is left in charge of her little brother, she remembers Grandpa Lou's one big rule: don't ride the pigs.

But the pigs look bored...and Grandpa Lou isn't around. What could possibly go wrong?

Soon, squeals, splashes, and a very muddy mess teach Donna and Louis that not listening can lead to hard lessons-and even harder chores!

Susan Getshenfeld brings her mom's childhood mischief to life in stories filled with curiosity, adventure, and heart. This first book introduces Donna, a spirited young girl whose big ideas don't always go as planned-but often lead to important lessons. After a career helping others find new opportunities and brighter futures, Susan now writes stories inspired by family and the joy of sharing memories across generations. She will delight in reading this story to her first grandchild, who will live just a stroller-ride away from Susan and her husband, Joel, in Newtown, Massachusetts.
