Why read it?

1 author picked Pig-Boy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is one of my favorite picture books. To me, the main character is life itself. A mischievous, greedy, daring, vulnerable, colorful aliveness. The strong colors and the bold shapes of the illustrations demonstrate the raw intensity of life. And the theme of Grandmother loving Pig-Boy unconditionally is one mothers would resonate with. Such a treat!

From Maria's list on beyond good and bad, right and wrong.
