What If, Pig is a sweet and relatable story about a pig who is a kind and generous friend to everyone. But Pig has a secret. Pig is a worrier.
When Pig decides to plan a party for all of their friends, they start to panic about all the things that could go wrong. Pig’s friend Mouse lets Pig cancel the party, and then takes Pig for a walk to relax. There they run into all the invited guests who share their own worries with Pig.

This is a fun and gentle introduction to worries and anxiety, and how children don’t have to feel alone in their fears. The illustrations are bright, goofy and sweet, with the text changing font depending of the emotions they are conveying.

I recommend this book. It is a fun read for ages 4-8.
