From the award-winning author behind

Two Cents
, a heart-warming story about a piggy bank who wants more out of life than coins. In aisle six of the local toystore lives an energetic piggy bank named Koppig. Contrary to his stereotype, Koppig does not like to sit and hold change. He loves to run. When Koppig overhears talk of a triathlon happening in aisle seven, he decides to compete. Unfortunately, the other toys are not too fond of their piggy bank competitor, leading to a recurring speech about what piggy banks are supposed to do. This personified version of the American idiomatic expression gives readers an education in communication and self-assurance. Kohr's storytelling (credited as "Sigur") paired with Fisk's child-friendly paintings make
a classic in the making. Koppig learns that not all "two cents" are worth the weight.
REVIEWS
"It is an amazing book and a work that [Nicole] put alot of thought into. The story is a portrait of her own determination and courage of which I have witnessed over the years. Koppig, the main character, is a self-determined young man. His courage to finish the race reminds me of Nicole's. Every child needs to read this book." - William "Bill" Grippo,
