Oink and Pearl by Kay Chorao
Pearl has a little brother named Oink. But she wishes she had a big sister instead. Pearl wants to jump rope but Oink doesn't. Oink thinks fishing is fun but Pearl doesn't. Can't they agree on anything?

Pig and Crow by Kay Chorao
Might be too rich, too long & resonant & themed for the the littlest children. But oh what a great gift for a school-age child who loves to read so much they may not have mastered the art of making friends. And the illustrations, oh my goodness.

Little Farm by the Sea by Kay Chorao
Just another itemization of life on a farm. I much prefer ones like [b:The Year At Maple Hill Farm|1098226|The Year At Maple Hill Farm|Alice Provensen|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348280136s/1098226.jpg|1085080].
