The Purple Pig

He only wanted to be part of the 'in crowd', accepted despite being different from the others pigs in the herd. Yet, the purple pig found himself alone and forgotten among the colorful pig groups, in colors of pink, black-and-white and orange. In the new children's book by authors Connie Cooper-Schneider and Jenn Hengy, The Purple Pig, the purple pig longed for friendship with any of the pigs, but found himself left out of the group. His trip into the forest led him to a wish-granting fairy, who gave him three wishes to bring him joy. He chose to become like the pigs that ignore them, hoping to become friends with them. Yet the purple pig soon discovered that imitating others revealed the pigs were not what they seemed. The Purple Pig offers readers valuable lessons on finding true happiness and treating others as you would like to be treated.
