Synopsis

Wee-skin-and-bones isn’t like the other little pigs, who tease him for being different. So he runs away from home, into the middle of a great dark forest. There, with some help from an unexpected friend, Wee-skin-and-bones learns that it doesn’t really matter if your tail isn’t curly and whirly and your ears aren’t flippy-flappy—it’s how you feel on the inside that counts.
With playful, exuberant text and endearing illustrations, John Richardson has created a reassuring story for young children about the unconditional love of family and the importance of celebrating one’s differences.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Being different can sometimes mean you are very special. Grunt has crinkly, crumply ears, a tiddly widdly button of a snout and absolutely no tail at all. And worst of all, a teeny tiny grunt. Things look pretty bleak until he meets a wise old boar who has a wonderful secret ? the secret of being happy ? inside and out.
