Bookroo's summary

A plump pig, burdened by his inability to jump, watches enviously as a frog leaps with ease. Heartbroken, he dreams of defying his own limitations. Will he find a way to soar, or remain grounded by his own self-doubt? This whimsical tale in verse explores the pig's journey of self-discovery and determination, inviting readers to ponder the power of perseverance and the joy of embracing one's unique abilities. Can the pig find his own way to leap into happiness?

From the publisher

A pig, brokenhearted because he is too fat to jump, is encouraged to imitate a frog’s sprightly leap
