Something from Nothing
Ages 8–12 · 1989

Written by Phoebe Gilman
Part of the Jillian Jiggs series
A girl's homemade toy pigs are a hit, until selling them gets complicated.
Jillian Jiggs discovers that buttons look just like pigs' noses and starts making pigs of every kind: pirate pigs, princess pigs, striped and plaid pigs. She plans to sell them for ten cents each, but she loves each one so much that parting with them is harder than she thought. A rhyming story that ends with instructions for making your own pig.
