What is it about?
The story begins when Piggy finds a crown in the forest and proclaims that from now on, he is a prince. His new status leads him to behave in an authoritarian and annoying way toward his friends, the other animals of the forest. Soon, his attitude causes unrest in the group: Piggy gives orders, interrupts games, and does not respect others. Fed up with his behavior, the animals decide to meet and talk to him to make him understand that friendship is not based on titles or impositions, but on mutual respect and coexistence. Through expressive illustrations and simple text, the book shows how dialogue and empathy can resolve conflicts and restore harmony.
