Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children’s author, songwriter, producer, and director. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over seventy-five children’s books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. More than 85 million of her books have been sold, “mostly to friends and family,” she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced six albums of renegade children’s music. Three of her six albums have been certified Gold (over 500,000 copies sold) and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, has been certified Platinum (over 1 million copies sold). Boynton has also directed twelve music videos of her songs, including the award-winning “One Shoe Blues” starring B.B. King, “Alligator Stroll” starring Josh Turner, and “Tyrannosaurus Funk” (animated) sung by Samuel L. Jackson. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.
“A sweet celebration of the bond between a mother and her Pookie.
The eighth installment in this always charming series eschews the
episodic drama and silliness of earlier outing such as Spooky
Pookie in favor of a mom's-eye-view celebration of her child and
the time they spend together…Paired with author/illustrator
Boynton's irresistible renderings of a porcine mommy and her
playful, snuggly little piglet, the result is impossible to fault.
Whether quietly reading, running in a tiger suit, singing with mom
in the car, ears flapping in the breeze, or enjoying the safety of
mom's embrace, Pookie's appeal continues unabated. An unabashed
love letter from mother.”
