This is a sweet story. Poindexter is a bashful young pig who has a hard time making friends because he is so shy, but he seeks refuge at the local library, where he becomes a bit of a library helper.  One day a young turtle shows up at the library who is even more shy than Poindexter, seeking a book on how to make friends.  As Poindexter helps the newcomer, they bond over the book and pull each other out of their respective shells (literally, in the turtle’s case).
