Never a fan of Christian books, it was the beautifully illustrated cover that first caught my attention and caused me to pick up this book. But it was the writing and the message behind the story that captured me.

Two pigs, Sidney and Norman, are as different as night and day. Even though they are neighbors they've never spoken and don't even know each other's names. One day they each receive a letter from God asking each to meet with Him. What follows is valuable life lessons learned for both Sidney and Norman, as well as young readers.

This book will keep your kids attention and your own with its well-written and beautifully illustrated timeless story.

This book is intended for children.
But. . . as an adult I can't say enough good about it. It reminds you that God loves you. God loves you. GOD loves YOU.
It doesn't preach, it doesn't talk down. It's a story that is bound to bring a tear to the eye of the adult who reads it to the child.
Maybe it just appeals to the child in me. Illustrations are beautiful, story is well written and the message is perfect.

You MAY want to buy it to give to the adult Sidney OR Norman in your life!
