Being a Pig

Being a Pig

Little Coco is convinced – she urgently needs a pig! To hug and cuddle with, and to love. »Why not?« said Papa. Mama didn’t say a thing. Then it was a done deal.

Life with a pig is easier than imagined. The most important thing is to have enough to eat and that everyone knows their role, then everyone will have fun. Yet Lotte, the pig, continues to grow and grow – and when thingsbecome cramped, the fun disappears. It soon becomes clear – Lotte has to go! The much-loved pig ends up on a farm. Quite a shock for Lotte! It stinks here … and the things the animals eat … And they don’t even have a bathroom! But the worst thing is that there is no one who calls her Lotte … What keeps her here? Nothing! One day she sets off, looking for a new home, for warmth and security – and ¿ nds happiness. A poetic interweaving of text and illustration – amusing, sad and wonderfully ¿eeting. It directly touches the heart.
