“Hammie Goes to School,” is the first in a series of rhyming stories following the everyday life of a little piglet known as Hammie. Having the same sweet gentle nature as Wilbur from Charlotte’s Web and the charm and innocence of Babe, Hammie is an adorable little piglet who has the persona of a real life child, in the fashion of Porky Pig, without the stutter.

Each of these heart warming stories has a moral, portraying many aspects of life children can identify with. Often touching on sensitive issues, such as bullying at school, children will relate to Hammie in a way that reinforces their confidence and values.  These stories demonstrate the closeness and security of family life, in an old fashioned way, giving children the opportunity to enjoy the simple pleasures sometimes overlooked with today’s busy lifestyle.

The Adventures of Hammie is guaranteed to capture the hearts of readers everywhere. Hammie’s high spirited, fun loving character will fill children with love and inspiration as his humorous adventures unfold throughout the series. 

Book 1 begins with Hammie pursuing his dream to become a schoolboy. The stories alternate between Hammie’s family life at home with his Mum, Dad and four siblings and his adventures at school.
