“Ogilvy, the Pig Who Whistled,” is a children’s book for the young and young at heart, and offers a whimsical tale with an important message:

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

Ogilvy the Pig learns a thing or two about friendship

Ogilvy the Pig has the finest snout on the farm, but he only wants to whistle just like his feathered farmyard pals.  In his quest to be like Merribelle the Sparrow, Gandersleeves the Goose, and Mr. Slybeaks the Crow, he encounters adventures and mischief, and engages in some, well, pretty pig-headed behavior.

It takes a big storm and a call for help to bring back the pig everyone loves.  Ogilvy discovers the only way he can helps his friends is to be himself.  Luckily for the farm animals, no one is better at being Ogilvy than the plucky pig!

In this era of peer pressure, young children and grownups alike can feel a little insecure sometimes.  This children’s story tackles this topic in a whimsical way.  Truly, Ogilvy and his barnyard buddies remind us all there’s nothing better than being yourself.

“Ogilvy, the Pig Who Whistled” is the first of a series of children’s books from Whistling Pig Publishing.  Charmingly illustrated by international artist Stefano Trainito, the pictures engage and entertain while sharing important life lessons, as seen from the eyes of endearing farm animals.

Designed to be read aloud, this children’s reader for ages 4-8 is sure to a cherished story tradition for the family, and fond memories for the children as they grow up to be the best they can be!
