New York Times BestsellerAmazon Best Book of the Year
"Funny, entertaining, enlightening, and touching, this book about an unknowingly influential little piggy is a good read that also provides an education on the intelligence of pigs and their capacity for giving and receiving affection."―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
In the summer of 2012, Steve Jenkins was contacted by an old friend about adopting a micro piglet. Though he knew his partner Derek wouldn't be enthusiastic, he agreed to take the adorable little pig anyway, thinking he could care for her himself. Little did he know, that decision would change his and Derek's lives forever.
It turned out there was nothing "micro" about Esther, and Steve and Derek had actually signed on to raise a full-sized commercial pig. Within three years, Tiny Esther grew to a whopping 600 pounds. After some real growing pains and a lot of pig-sized messes, it became clear that Esther needed much more space, so Steve and Derek made another life-changing decision: they bought a farm and opened the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, where they could care for Esther and other animals in need.
Funny, heartwarming, and utterly charming, Esther the Wonder Pig follows Steve and Derek's adventure-from reluctant pig parents to farm-owning advocates for animals.
"Funny, moving, and heartwarming. The greatest love story ever told between two men and their pig."―Ricky Gervais
"Told with self-effacing humor and a sense of wonder at what life can bring, Esther is the story of the transformative power of love between people and animals and how the decision to try to make a difference on a personal level can effect positive change far beyond anything that might have been imagined."―Larry Levin, New York Times–bestselling author of Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love]]></description><link>https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18802023</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18802023</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jenkins, Steve, Walter, Derek, Crane, Caprice]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/18802023981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Changing The World One Heart At A Time</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781455560776/MC.GIF&amp;client=midarkansas&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Apex Predators]]></title><description><![CDATA["In his latest illustrated exploration of the animal kingdom, Steve Jenkins introduces readers to some of the most powerful predators in history, from the Tyrannosaurus rex to the African lion."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S200C311211</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S200C311211</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_PCD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jenkins, Steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/311211200</comments><format>BOOK_PCD</format><subtitle>The World&apos;s Deadliest Hunters, Past and Present</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798885193337/MC.GIF&amp;client=midarkansas&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[One Day]]></title><description><![CDATA[What happens around in the world in twenty-four hours?

Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter, had their lives turned upside down when they adopted their pig-daughter Esther--the so-called micro pig who turned out to be a full-sized commercial pig growing to a whopping 600 pounds--as they describe in their bestselling memoir Esther the Wonder Pig. The book ends with them moving to a new farm, and starting a new wonderful life where they will live on the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary to care for other animals and just live happily ever after...
Or so they thought. People often think about giving it all up and just moving to a farm. In theory it sure does sound great. But as Derek and Steve quickly realized, the realities of being a farmer--especially when you have never lived on a farm let alone outside of the city--can be frantic, crazy, and even insane. Not only are they adjusting to farm life and dutifully taking care of their pig-daughter Esther (who by the way lives in the master bedroom of their house), but before they knew it their sanctuary grew to as many as 42 animals, including: pigs, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens, cows, roosters, a peacock, a duck, a horse, a donkey, and a barn cat named Willma Ferrell. 
Written with joy and humor, and filled with delicious Esther-approved recipes dispersed throughout the book, this charming memoir captures an emotional journey of one little family advocating for animals everywhere.]]></description><link>https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12527573</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12527573</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jenkins, Steve, Walter, Derek, Crane, Caprice]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/12527573981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Two Men, a Wonder Pig, and Their Life-Changing Mission to Give Animals a Home</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781538728123/MC.GIF&amp;client=midarkansas&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happily Ever Esther]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the New York Times bestselling authors and loving owners of Esther the Wonder Pig, comes a memoir about their new life on the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, which is anything but boring.

a minute, or an hour?

How can we measure time?

The flap of a vulture's wing.

A crocodile's heartbeat.

The weight of a baby blue whale.

The life of a mayfly.

These increments of time may sound a bit strange, but they are all fascinating ways in which we can think about time.

But what exactly is time? In Just a Second, the award-winning author-illustrator Steve Jenkins brings forth unique ways to think about time beyond the hands we see every day on a ticking clock. This non-fiction picture book explores time and how we think about it in a different way-as a series of events in the natural world (some of them directly observable, others not) that take place in a given unit of time. Steve Jenkins' extraordinary illustrations will accompany this engaging look at time.]]></description><link>https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14799549</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14799549</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jenkins, Steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/14799549981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780547770000/MC.GIF&amp;client=midarkansas&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The True Adventures of Esther the Wonder Pig]]></title><description><![CDATA[The true story of social media sensation Esther the Wonder Pig and her two dads that inspired the New York Times bestselling memoir for adults is now available in a picture book with adorable illustrations and a message of love. 
 
When Steve and Derek adopted a mini pig named Esther, they had no idea that she would turn out to be not-so-mini after all. When her new family saw just how big and wonderful Esther really was, they fell in love--and their lives changed forever. Esther would soon grow too large for her bed, and their small apartment. She got into everything, including her neighbor's tasty garden. So the whole family moved from a small apartment to a big farm, where Esther and her animal friends could fit happily (and get into a little less mischief). Eventually, that farm would become the Happily Esther After animal sanctuary, home to rescued animals of all kinds.]]></description><link>https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12524249</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12524249</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jenkins, Steve, Walter, Derek, Crane, Caprice]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://salinecountylibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/12524249981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316554725/MC.GIF&amp;client=midarkansas&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trickiest!]]></title><description><![CDATA[Trickiest! introduces readers to some of the slyest animals on the planet, and the award-winning author and illustrator Steve Jenkins is here to show you what earned them their reputation.
