The Year of the Pig
Tales from the Chinese Zodiac
“The Year of the Pig tells the story of Patty, a pig who is criticized for her piggish behavior. In the end, though, her devil-may-care, impulsive side wins the day as she sneaks out of her pen to find Farmer Wu’s valuable jade ring in the compost heap — a job thought better left to last year's ‘year of’ animal, the dog….[The artwork is] reminiscent of the work of Chuck Jones, the animator behind such Warner Bros. cartoon characters as Bugs Bunny. They look like animation stills….With his new series, Chin wants to bring the ancient stories of the Chinese zodiac to life in a modern context.” —Paul Kilduff, San Francisco Chronicle
“With its delightful narrative and appealing artwork, The Year of the Pig reminds us of the many porcine qualities we would do well to cultivate in ourselves: intelligence, curiosity, sincerity and generosity.” —Sy Montgomery, author of The Good Good Pig
