the PIPKIN stories

Commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence, with a heartfelt chapter book that brings together a girl named Martha and Pipkin, a mouse. The unlikely pair will solve a problem and contribute to the creation of a new nation.

From dodging Redcoats in moonlit fields to slipping through enemy lines with secret messages, Pipkin braves dangers far larger than himself. He meets a young drummer boy and together they form an unlikely friendship bound by courage, loyalty, and hope.

The General's Mouse continues the adventures of Pipkin as he navigates the challenges of Valley Forge.

These books are about a brave mouse navigating the American Revolution to bring history alive for young readers. My hope is that the stories spark curiosity through engaging tales that will be remembered long after reading.

"I bought this book for my nieces who are avid readers. A great way to introduce U.S. history in a fun and engaging way. Highly recommended - this is a great resource for learning."

"Goose Feathers is a delightful read where the author cleverly weaves a background story to the writing of the Declaration of Independence. Obviously, Sandy Pinder is a talented author and artist. I thoroughly enjoyed her first work!
Wish I could have read Goose Feathers to my children, but instead will look forward to reading it to my grands! Well done, Ms. Pinder!"

"This book is a wonderful book for young people, but older folks will enjoy it as well. It teaches young minds the history of the grand American experiment in liberty and the writing of the Declaration of Independence, through the eyes of fictional characters who in the story contribute to the historical effort. The author writes extremely well. The characters and times come alive in the story."

"... a witty and charming tale that not only entertains readers but also educates them about a pivotal time in the history of our nation. An enjoyable read for young and old alike!"
