About the Book

In a Pickle is a warmly told children's tale about a precocious little boy and his schoolyard predicament. It is delightful in its simplicity yet enchanting in the way it mischievously unfolds.

The title quandary involves a classic case of bullying, yet is elevated with a clever solution and ends on a touching bon mot. Bright and warm watercolor illustrations are a visual treat throughout, on par with vintage children’s books of yore.

In a Pickle is both a classic and modern tale. It is for any reader looking to be enchanted by a plucky little boy and his clever dad.
