A fiercely determined girl will do anything to help her best pig friend finally see the sky in this unique friendship story.

Pia just found out the terrible news that pigs can't look straight up, which means her best friend and right-hand-pig, Patches, has never seen the sky. If you ask her, that is absolutely cuckoo bananas. Now Pia is on a mission to share the beauty of the big wide sky with Patches... and she will do whatever it takes!

From debut author-illustrator Nic Yulo comes this story of determination, empathy, and learning to look at the world (and the sky!) in a whole new way.
