| A Day No Pigs Would Die (ISBN 0679853065) is a 1972 coming of age story by Robert Newton Peck about a young Shaker boy in Vermont. The author himself is the main character, but the story is fiction rather than autobiography. Nevertheless, the author commented that the character of Haven Peck was derived heavily from his own father. The book tracks the life of Robert Peck through a single year. Set in the 1930s, it follows him as he is bitten by a cow, receives a pig named Pinky, and faces the death of his father. Because of its sensitive subject matter, the inclusion of Peck's novel in literature courses and school libraries was frequently challenged during the 1990s. Awards
