    About this ebook

    A happy little pig runs into some trouble, and how everyone rallies around him!

    A beautifully illustrated 24-page children's picture book, with a very important message written in great poetry about the key issue of bullying in schools.

    Colleen Davoren is currently touring schools in New York and Michigan. The book is also currently in use at Irish schools. Check out the great reviews below!

    'This is a lovely story which most definitely captured the hearts of the little children I teach! It was the perfect resource for my lesson based on bullying and the children loved the illustrations, they even tried to reconstruct their own versions. Many children can relate to Packy Pig's problem and this is one of the reasons they loved it so much! I loved how the children were willing to share their ideas on how we can tackle bullying throughout the school. A beautiful story with a very important message.' TINA FAHERTY

    'This book and this author really touch the heart. The happiness and the hurt of Packy the Pig is told in such beautiful and poetic prose. This book is rich in content and illustration. It carries a special message. With the love and support of family and friends, bullying can be overcome. I recently had the great pleasure of meeting this author and her wonderful family. I have seen the source of the love that went into this book. This wonderful book should be read by all.' DWIGHT MOSSMAN

    'I loved reading this beautifully written and illustrated story. It touches the heart, and allows us to feel the happiness and the hurt that little Packy experiences. The writing style and rhyme, combined with the warmth and beauty of the illustrated surroundings will appeal to children of all ages. It addresses a current and important social issue that children and adults are dealing with: Bullying. Having been a Para Pro in the American public school system for nearly 30 years, I feel that this wonderful story will be read over and over again.
    I highly recommend this book to parents and children of all ages!' MARY CASSIDY

    'A wonderfully illustrated childhood tale, based in Ireland. A very engaging and emotional story, told using some very sweet poetry. And a very important message about the key issue of bullying. Worth the money for the pictures alone, will be enjoyed by children, parents and teachers all over the world.' STEVE STONE

    Colleen Davoren

    Growing up in the Midwest, I had a very happy childhood with my wonderful family, friends and all my animals! The worst part was a six-month period in middleschool, when I was bullied daily. Former Gift Store owner - that's when I met the gifted and talented Cathy Zeiger. Former Airline Employee - met many celebrities, de-iced airplanes, even flew my own propeller plane, with the help of a pilot giving lessons of course! My love of travel took me all over the U.S., and backpacking extensively throughout Europe. My most rewarding and fulfilling role in my life is being happily married, and a stay at home mother to our four beautiful and amazing children. Colleen Davoren is currently touring schools in New York and Michigan, with her beautifully illustrated 38-page children's picture book on bullying. The book is also currently in use at Irish schools.
