Pig had never been a winner. He was the last to finish tests. He was the last picked for games. He was even the last to have his birthday. It seemed Pig's destiny was to always finish last. The year of the pig is a heartwarming story about friendship, never giving up hope and staying true to oneself, no matter the cost. It cleverly combines fiction and non-fiction as it celebrates 2019 as the Chinese Zodiac year of the pig.
