Synopsis

In a quirky, clever, and heartwarming picture book from the beloved author of Henny, Peddles the pig is on a mission to make his dreams come true with the help of his porcine pals.

Peddles is tired of being the same old pig—he wants to be different.

He wants to stop doing the usual pig things like oinking and sleeping. He’d much rather stand, climb, and dance! And Peddles finally gets his chance when he bumps into a pile of shoes and finds a pair of red boots that fits just right! But as soon as Peddles tries them on, he falls on his back and can’t get up! Until his special friends come along and show him how to make his dreams come true!

From the Inside Flap

"Peddles was a pig who saw things his own way. Where most pigs were happy with the pig trough, Peddles wanted pizza. He dreamed of flying like a bird or hopping like a frog. Then one night he saw it . . . . Now Peddles had a dream. A big dream. And a plan to make it happen."
