Owen wrote this enjoyable book to help children understand the importance of community service, friendship, giving a helping hand, a hint at financial literacy, and character building. In this story, the character Lexington is named after his son. Piggy and the farm come from his family roots in Iowa and also the agricultural history in Robeson County, North Carolina. Lexington is currently in grade school and has a very close friendship with his mentor, Piggy. Piggy experiences loss and hardship with his corn harvest, and it becomes Lexington’s goal to help his friend in need. Lexington raises money by working hard in the community. First, he works at the local cafe. Next, he picks up trash throughout the neighborhood. Finally, he walks dogs at the local doggy daycare. Lexington saves Piggy by raising all the money needed to pay his bills. Next, Piggy decides to work with other local farmers to sell produce from the surrounding area in his produce stand. This allows Piggy to make money until the next corn harvest. In the end, Piggy expresses his thanks and gratitude to Lexington.
