Deciding that she wants to be a fairy princess when she grows up, Willa, a pig, begins dressing and acting like one. Although her friends find her fairy antics annoying, Willa is undaunted; she rescues a young piglet and earns her just reward. The appealing story is illustrated with large, clean artwork that humorously depicts the pig heroine dressed in a tutu and brandishing her magic wand.
