It’s A Big World, Little Pig! By Kristi Yamaguchi

My 7 year old daughter wanted to read it as soon as she saw this book. The illustrations are fun in the bright colors that she loves; they make the reader smile right along with Poppy. The lesson in the story applies to young and old alike. My favorite phrase is, “A smile is the same in any language.”

It definitely continues on after the first one, but is fine to read out of order. I think if you fall in love with one book you’ll want to get the other one.

Here is the backcover copy:

In It’s a Big World, Little Pig!, Poppy, the adorable, persistent, dreaming-big pig, has a new adventure in store for her-the World Games ice skating championship in Paris!

Poppy is nervous about meeting so many new people in a new place. But, ever courageous and supported by her family (and best friend Emma, too!), Poppy embarks upon this exciting adventure head on. She meets a snowboarding Panda, a Maltese who skies, and two fellow skaters, a Crane and a Kangaroo.

Poppy begins to realize that although these animals look different, act different, and are from different places, they are all the same at heart. They all smile in the same language!
