After Ms. Taffy wins a piglet in a radio contest, she wonders how she can possibly keep it in the city, especially as it grows. Fortunately, the community works together to clean up an empty lot, build a home for the pig, and plant a lush garden for everyone to enjoy. Loose, energetic illustrations complement the mood of this uplifting story, which has a message but doesn't preach.
