Bookroo's summary

Little Pig struggles to keep up with his older siblings during a visit to Grandpa's house. Too small to play any of the old marching-band instruments, he feels left out. But when the band falls into chaos, Little Pig sees an opportunity. Could his big idea to lead the band be the key to bringing harmony? Discover how Little Pig turns his size into an advantage in this charming tale of sibling dynamics and unexpected leadership.

From the publisher

Little Pig has trouble keeping up with his older—and bigger—brothers and sisters. When they get out Grandpa’s old marching-band instruments, Little Pig is too little to play any of them. But when the disorganized band has a pig-pile mishap, Little Pig has a BIG idea: They could use a leader.
