A cute pink pig hands on a swing with playground equipment in the background.

On his first day as an elementary school principal in Moscow, Idaho, Tony Bonuccelli expected some hiccups. He did not expect to chase a 20-pound pig around the playground! 

What happened next? Find out in Deanna Gilmore’s forthcoming memoir and collection of true tales from the schoolyard, “There’s a Pig on the Playground.”

From Deanna’s experience teaching children in remote Alaskan villages, to the everyday, memorable events that stick with anyone who’s worked in our nation’s schools, “There’s a Pig on the Playground” is a delightful look at that place where our identities are built, and friendships first formed—our elementary schoolyards.
