The Pig of happiness outlines the story of one pig’s determination to be happy. He is so tired of all of the moaning and groaning going on around the barn-yard that he decides he is going to make a difference. This book is short with very simple illustrations and extra-large text. It has a great positive message that encourages children to be happy and find joy in their circumstances. I would use this book in two ways. First as a wonderful example of how to treat others, second how to find joy in the journey of life.
