Down by the River: Where the Treasure Lies

By Lisa Sink Beard

Meet Pinto- the pig everyone loves to hate...until the day everything changes.

Down by the River: Where the Treasure Lies is a heartwarming children's picture book that teaches kids about kindness, forgiveness, and the power of change.

Pinto the pig rules the barnyard as a bully, making life miserable for everyone around him; only Gordo the goat comes close to his level of misery. But when a sudden storm leaves Pinto alone in the shed, the sound of the rain whispers a question he can't ignore:

Can someone so dirty inside and out ever truly change?

As Pinto listens to the rain, he begins a journey that leads to a treasure far greater than gold-a treasure that can turn selfishness into caring and darkness into light.

♥Perfect for children ages 5-10, parents, teachers, and Sunday school classrooms.

♥A wholesome bedtime story that helps kids talk about emotions, bullying, and redemption.

♥Beautifully written and illustrated, reminding readers where the true treasure lies.

Join Pinto and the barnyard friends in this uplifting story of hope, forgiveness, and finding who we were created to be.
