From the publisher

_Pig was having a feel-good kind of day. Pig was just hanging around, thinking about his favorite things. Sunshine, rainbows, and the feel of cool mud on a hot summer day.

Then out of the blue came a Pesky Fly,

That Pesky Fly buzzed around Pig’s nose.

He buzzed around Pig’s ears._

Suddenly Pig’s peaceful, feel-good day wasn’t so peaceful anymore. Pig needs to figure out the best way to handle it, instead of yelling or swatting… that wouldn’t be kind! Fly needs to figure out how to better interact with his friends and respect Pig’s space, and decides Pig is a good friend to have! Pig and Fly work through their problem and move on to having a feel-good day…together!

Includes a Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Professionals with more information on helping children deal with frustration and build positive relationships.
