    About this audiobook

    Jacqueline Briggs Martin has received a Caldecott Medal, ALA Notable honors, and Bulletin Blue Ribbons for her endearing children's books. Isabel and the Pig go with Grandfather when he is using his gift to find water. But one day, Grandfather believes he's lost his gift. When the Pig goes missing, Isabel is afraid he will never return. Without Grandfather's gift for finding what cannot be seen, how will they ever get the Pig back? "This poignant story of the magical gift a girl shares with her grandfather is a gem." -Kirkus Reviews
