Piggy

Reach for this book when your child is feeling the weight of responsibility beyond their years, especially if they are navigating the complex reality of loving a sibling with profound cognitive or behavioral challenges. Piggy is a poignant look at the life of a young girl who acts as a protector and caretaker for her brother, Piggy, whose unpredictable nature often leaves her exhausted and isolated. This story validates the often unspoken feelings of resentment, fierce loyalty, and loneliness that come with being a young caregiver. It is a deeply honest exploration of family dynamics and the need for a child to be seen as an individual, not just a helper. Parents will appreciate its raw emotional truth and its ability to open doors for difficult but necessary conversations about fairness and self care within the home.
