In this ambling story based loosely on the life of Madeline creator Ludwig Bemelmans, Louie is a young pig with a passion for drawing. He has a terrible time at school, but a few supportive adults help him to eventually become a successful picture book artist. Warm illustrations depict Louie as a hard-working, personable pig in blue overalls.
