A fiercely determined girl will do anything to help her best pig friend finally see the sky in this unique friendship storyPia 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.
"This endearing, lighthearted tale rests on an easy science concept . . . makes a fine springboard for imaginative thinking and art activities focused on helping pigs look upward. The colorful, lively, expressive illustrations, set mostly in square or rectangular panels, are appealing; readers will also appreciate the text, often set in colored type and including onomatopoeic sound words used to very dynamic effect. " -Kirkus "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. " -School Library Journal "Limited primary color palette combines with a goofy "did-you-know" premise to make a cheery, engaging storytime selection. The bold lines, matte colors, hand-lettered text, and plentiful onomatopoeia give a frenetic, made-by-kids feel that is sure to be crowd-pleasing, while comic-style panels move the story forward, stretching young readers' visual literacy skills . . . amusingly demonstrates that new experiences are always better when shared. " -BCCB
