Bookroo's summary

Emmett, a tiny piglet, finds himself lost and alone until he's whisked away to Fosterland, a haven for baby animals. There, he meets Jez, a spirited kitten, and decides life as a kitten might be better. But as they grow, the looming reality of separate forever homes forces Emmett to confront his deepest fear: is there a place where he truly belongs? Join Emmett on a heartwarming journey of self-discovery and friendship, where the quest for a forever home becomes an adventure filled with hope and courage.

From the publisher

From New York Times bestselling author Hannah Shaw–also known as Kitten Lady–comes the first book in an exciting and heartwarming new chapter book series following kittens and other baby animals in Fosterland! When a tiny piglet named Emmett bounces off the truck carrying his mother and siblings, he’s lost, hungry, and stuck on the side of the road. He has no idea where he’s supposed to go, or where he belongs. Then a giant scoops Emmett up and takes him to a wonderful, magical place called Fosterland, where he meets a kitten named Jez. Emmett has a lot of questions, and once he hears all about life as a kitten, he decides it’s much better than being a piglet. So, Emmett decides to just become a kitten instead! Problem solved. But as both Jez and Emmett grow older and realize they might be headed off to different forever homes, Emmett will have to confront his fears and face the scariest question of all: Is there a Foreverland out there for him?
