Synopsis

"Pia just found out the terrible news that pigs can't look straight up, which means her best friend and right-hand pig Patches has never seen the sky. If you ask her, that is absolutely cuckoo bananas. Now Pia is on a mission to share the beauty of the big wide sky with Patches...and she will do whatever it takes! From debut author-illustrator Nic Yulo comes this story of determination, empathy, and learning to look at the world (and the sky!) in a whole new way."
