From the publisher

Wee-skin-and-bones isn’t like the other little pigs, who tease him for being different. So he runs away from home, into the middle of a great dark forest. There, with some help from an unexpected friend, Wee-skin-and-bones learns that it doesn’t really matter if your tail isn’t curly and whirly and your ears aren’t flippy-flappy–it’s how you feel on the inside that counts.With playful, exuberant text and endearing illustrations, John Richardson has created a reassuring story for young children about the unconditional love of family and the importance of celebrating one’s differences.
