Synopsis
A fiercely determined girl will do anything to help her best pig friend finally see the sky in this unique friendship story
Pia just found out the terrible news that pigs can't look straight up, which means her best friend and right-hand-pig Patches has never seen the sky. If you ask her, that is absolutely cuckoo bananas. Now Pia is on a mission to share the beauty of the big wide sky with Patches . . . and she will do whatever it takes!
From debut author-illustrator Nic Yulo comes this story of determination, empathy, and learning to look at the world (and the sky!) in a whole new way.

Reviews
PreS-Gr 1-"Did you know that pigs can't see the sky? Pia just found out too." When blue-haired, yellow-skinned Pia finds out her beloved companion Patches, a pink potbellied pig, can't see the sky, she tries several creative solutions to remedy the problem, all the while explaining to Patches why the sky is so wonderful: it can be soft and dreamy and help you feel calm, or gray and gloomy to match a sad mood. At last, when it seems impossible, Pia's determined problem-solving pays off, and she finds a way for Patches to see a patch of sky. Bright blue, pink, and yellow are the dominant colors; some illustrations are full page, while comics panels are employed on other pages, giving picture book readers a taste of the graphic novel format. Narrative text is in black, Pia's dialogue is in blue, and Patches's is in pink; some words are in all capital letters, which adds emphasis without seeming shouty. VERDICT This is a sweet, funny tale of a girl who wants to share her love of the sky with her best pal. Highly recommended for story times, classrooms, and one-on-one reading.-Jenny Archα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
