Excuse You Pig For Burping So Big was inspired by Dave Utter and his Utterisms … Dave used to say it to my children when they were young (and still does now that they are older). It was fun to take the first line and develop it into a children’s book that can be appreciated by kids and adults alike. I was thrilled that Tia Christiansen was able to illustrate the book. She really brought out the words through pictures. It was fun for us to create this book and bring it to you! Hoping you enjoy many years of fun reading it!
