Phiggy the Piggy was created to inspire an understanding of diversity, take a glimpse into the magical worlds of dreams and emotions, promote animal welfare, and promote the interconnectedness of the heart.
In this colorfully illustrated children’s book, an orphaned pig lays down to sleep and “wakes up” in a magical dreamland. She meets friends along the way and learns the secret to following her heart.
