Old Pig by Margaret Wild is a very emotional story about Old pig and Granddaughter who've lived together for a very long time. They've taken care of each other and have enjoyed their days. As Old Pig has gotten older, she's unable to do as much as she used to and becomes more tired day by day. Granddaughter learns to cherish every moment she has and to pay attention to all the beautiful things we are given here on Earth.

This is one of the most emotional books I've read by Margaret Wild and it sends a compelling message about loving and learning how to let go. The illustrations by Ron Brooks have an artsy feel to them and say so much...
