Piglet Papers is happy to present King Zucchini!

Zucchini’s life was perfect.

Perfect family, perfect dog treats, perfect sunny windows.

Perfect, that is, until THAT CAT peeked in her front door!

King Zucchini is a big-hearted book exploring the strong emotions that can arise due to change and new situations.

Worry! Anxiety! Anger! A rush of feelings speed through Zucchini!

Oh boy! Will she ever be able to find her calm?  

Featuring funny characters and silly action depicted through rich, engaging visuals, King Zucchini lets children explore BIG FEELINGS and how they affect Zucchini’s mind and body. Full of humor and kindness, we root for Zucchini to love her life, but to also be able to grow and expand, to make new friends and go new places!

King Zucchini is a heart-warming call to curiosity and acceptance of one’s own emotions as well as a celebration of each time we find our calm and step out into the wider world.

Let’s grow!
