The Saga of Simon the Skinny Pig: Simon Saves the Day

Simon Saves the Day

Here is the story of Simon

A guinea pig with no hair

He discovered he was different

And thought life was unfair

The piggies would make fun

And tease him ‘til no end

Until Simon saves the day

And they all become his friends

To those who feel you don’t belong

Young or old - you are a star

You’re exactly who you were created to be

Be proud of who you are!

About the author and illustrator:

BFFs since preschool, Kim and Jeanne played sports together, traded Orphan Annie stickers, went to Japanese Language School and hung out at Jeanne’s mother’s candy store on the island of Oahu, where they often overdosed on frozen Icees and gummy bears.

Together, Kim’s and Jeanne’s mission is to spread a positive life perspective via a lovable and unique character named Simon the Skinny Pig. They strongly believe each person is unique and has a special purpose in this world.
