Julius

when maya's grandfather comes to visit from alaska, he brings a surprise in a crate -- something, he says, to teach her "fun and sharing." maya hopes it's a horse or a big brother. but instead, it's a huge, pink pig named julius! maya's parents see julius as a slob, but maya feels differently. she sees a playmate, a protector, and a sharer in all that's magical and wild.
