Whistling Pig Publishing was founded in 2013 with a simple mission:

To encourage the young, and young of heart, to be the best they can be through our story telling.

Whether you’re a mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandparent, or simply someone who loves a child in their life, it can be hard watching them navigate friendships, schools and life.  It can be equally hard on the grownups, too.

Especially in a world where “the other kids” all seem to have the newest smart phone, coolest clothes, or a different kind of family than yours, the message can be hard to ignore:

Fit in, or be left out.

Whistling Pig Publishing is launching a line of books which share, through the eyes and story of Ogilvy the Pig and a colorful cast of barnyard characters, the special joys of being yourself.

Our inaugural book, Ogilvy, the Pig Who Whistled, shares this message in the form of an adventure that is whimsical, funny, and just a wee bit scary.  The illustrated children’s reader is a pig-tale was designed to help young ones realize:

Theres’s nothing better than being you.  So be the best you can be.

As you read this book to your children, or the little ones in your life,  you can help them see how their own unique gifts make them special.  Although “Ogilvy, the Pig Who Whistled” is written for children ages 4-8, its message of the value of being yourself is a timeless one.

This children’s book, and soon-to-be-released additional stories, will also help your children see that being themselves also helps them have good friendships.  The books shares gentle insight about friendship, forgiveness, and loving one another when someone is a little less than perfect.

We hope you enjoy our stories.
