Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children's author, songwriter, producer, and director. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over eighty-five children's books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. More than 90 million of her books have been sold, "mostly to friends and family," she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced seven albums of renegade children's music. Three of her seven albums have been certified Gold (over 500,000 copies sold) and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, has been certified Platinum (over 1 million copies sold). Boynton has also directed many music videos of her songs, including the award-winning "One Shoe Blues" starring B.B. King, "Alligator Stroll" starring Josh Turner, and "Tyrannosaurus Funk" (animated) sung by Samuel L. Jackson. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.

"Boynton's signature high jinks shine in this playful paean to perseverance and imagination. A piglet dares to dream big (very big!), and laughter, determination, and sweetness follow. Warm, cheerful ­illustrations pair with gentle encouragement in this aspirational board book, creating an ideal snuggle-time read for young dreamers and their grown-ups. VERDICT A cozy, classic addition perfect for inspiring big dreams in small readers."--School Library Journal
