Reach for this book when your child is feeling overwhelmed by changes to their environment or when they are struggling to let go of a rigid plan. It is a perfect choice for the little perfectionist who loves to organize their toys or follow a strict routine. This charming story follows Henry, a highly organized pig who decides to map out his farm to ensure everything is exactly where it belongs. While Henry values order and precision, his farmyard friends are a bit more unpredictable. Through gentle humor and beautiful illustrations, the story models how to balance a love for structure with the messy, joyful reality of friendship. It is an ideal read for preschoolers and early elementary children, providing a safe space to discuss the value of rules versus the beauty of spontaneity. Parents will appreciate the way it validates a child's need for order while encouraging them to find comfort in the people (or animals) around them.
