Dream Big Little Pig!

A great children's book!!!  Who doesn't love the color pink and pigs on skates?  :)  I found this book at my daughter's book fair and started to read it - immediately loving it!  It is about a little pig who has big dreams and tries all sorts of things, but isn't really great at any of them, but the best part of this book is the support this little pig has from her family and friends.  They encourage her to "dream big" and "you go girl!"  She doesn't give up, and finally finds something she is great at (which happens to be ice skating).  I read this to my staff at the start of our goal setting process early this year.  I told them that "a goal not written is only a wish" and as they progress through their goals they should push themselves, dream big and never give up.  We also need to support and encourage our colleagues and team!  A great lesson for all of us!  (This book was written by Olympic Skater, Kristi Yamaguchi so she is one to know about setting goals and achieving them!)

  1. The title of this book, put a smile on my face. What an eye catching cover!
    I will look for it in my son's library. I am sure he will love it.

    I am inspired by " a goal not written is only a wish". Thanks for sharing.
