Tubby Anderson is a mentally challenged pig farmer in rural Oklahoma. In Book One of The Drugstore Series, he is introduced as the foul-smealling, uncouth, and wannabe paramour of Livy Stephens. Book Three, Talking to Tubby, reveals that Tubby's facade is truly only skin deep.
Gifted with a very unique ability, this boy-man has been entrusted to ensure the safekeeping of the animals on his farm. His own innocence regarding the world around him, means that those he cares for must return the favor especially when it comes time for Tubby to let them go.
Talking to Tubby is a heartwarming and magical look at pure and unconditional love. It will convince you that the kind of goodness that can change the world, isn't always human; and that in judging a book by its cover, you might be forfeiting something miraculous.
