Bookroo's summary

Best friends Gerald and Piggie face a dilemma when Piggie announces she's leaving. Gerald, the cautious elephant, is thrown into turmoil. Without Piggie, who will he share his playful adventures with? As Piggie's carefree spirit clashes with Gerald's worries, their friendship is put to the test. Will Gerald find a way to cope with Piggie's decision, or will their bond be forever altered? Dive into this heartwarming tale of friendship, change, and the power of companionship, where humor and heart collide in unexpected ways.

From the publisher

Gerald is careful. Piggie is not. Piggie cannot help smiling. Gerald can.

Gerald and Piggie are best friends.

In I Am Going!, Piggie ruins a perfectly good day by telling Gerald she is going. If Piggie goes, who will Gerald skip with, play Ping-Pong with, and wear silly hats with?
