Join Anderson’s Bookshop for an in-person signing with Instagram sensation Piglet the deaf blind pink puppy, his mom Melissa Shapiro, and a few of Piglet's canine pals (Evie, Zoey, and Lucy!) to celebrate the release of PIGLET COMES HOME and PIGLET: THE UNEXPECTED STORY OF A DEAF, BLIND, PINK PUPPY AND HIS FAMILY. At this fun event, Piglet and Melissa will read a story, give a demonstration with all the dogs, meet and greet fans, with the opportunity to take a photo with Piglet! All books will be pre-signed.
This event will be held in our Naperville store, and pre-registration is required as space is limited.
More about the books:
PIGLET COMES HOME (picture book)
Real-life Instagram sensation Piglet the Pink Puppy inspired this sweet and compassionate picture book about the deaf and blind pup finding his forever home.
When the pup pack’s owner leaves to bring them a new friend, the dogs wonder who will be coming back to join their family. Will it be a little pooch like Zoey or Annie? Or maybe a big dog with lots of energy like Gina?
But when Mom walks in carrying a teeny tiny box making lots of noise, everyone is confused. Pups don’t make sounds like that, and surely the creature is too small and pink to be a dog! And poor little Piglet is shy and nervous, the pack isn’t sure how to say hello. Will the dogs be able to make friends and show Piglet he has a place in his new home?
