The True Adventures of Esther the Wonder Pig

The True Adventures of Esther the Wonder Pig was a gift for my Grandma's 98th birthday. My Grandma always loved books, but was struggling to read due to dementia, so I thought this might be a story she could follow. As someone who loved animals, it ended up being one of her favorite books (and just a few years earlier, she'd also read (and loved!) the grown-up book about Esther the Wonder Pig). It a truely lovely and warm story, and I can't express enough gratitude for the joy it brought to my Grandma in difficult times. Along with it's beautiful illustrations, it's a wonderful read at any age ♥️🐾🐽

I love this true story children’s book about this wonderful pig called Ester the Wonder Pig. Every day on Facebook I watch the videos posted. This is truly an amazing pig! The huge hardback book is amazing with perfect illustrations and a perfect true story! I love the two guys who adopted Ester too! Who cares if Ester has two human fathers? She also has a dog brother named Phil, a turkey brother named Cornelius, and a cat sister named Delores.The people who are afraid to buy this children’s book for their kids just because of Ester the Wonder Pig’s owners’ sexual orientation are missing out on a wonderful children’s true story book about an amazing, always smiling, and happy pig named Ester who naturally loves to eat. They truly are limiting their children!There are all types of beautiful families! Why do people want to raise their kids in a bubble? Why can’t people just appreciate the good people and philanthropy in this world without being so judgemental? I love Derek and Steve, Esther’s fathers, and love how they became vegan and raise awareness to the plight of how pigs raised for food are treated in factory farms.I love how they fell in love with a beloved Wonder Pig named Ester whom they at first thought was a mini pig but grew up to be 600 pounds! Bravo to them for sharing the Wonder Pig Ester’s true story in a children’s book, and “Bravo” for the beautiful work Derek and Steve and all of the staff and volunteers so at their farm where Ester lives called Happily Ever Ester Farm in Ontario, Canada!I bought this book for my 3-year old great niece and my 4-year old great nephew.

I have been a fan of Esther and her dads before they moved to Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary. The Esther Effect, the message of love for all creatures , is noted by the 1000s around the world who check her FB page daily to see what delightful things are happening with the gang at the sanctuary. I pre ordered the book as a gift for two young friends knowing it would be well done. I am NOT disappointed. It is perfect for reading to little ones,as well as for young readers or any one who loves Esther. The story of Esther and how she impacted the lives of two city guys is heartwarming, and the illustrations beg for little ones to point to the many animals who also live at HEEFS. Discussions about kindness, love, acceptance , non judgement, following your dreams and the joy found will come easily when sharing this book. I am a retired library media specialist and I think it should be in every pre k/elementary library. I am hoping this is the anchor book to a series.

I'm a big fan of Esther the wonder pig and Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary. I have their non-fiction books and bought this one as a gift for a sweet little girl in our neighbourhood. The illustrations of Steve, Derek, Esther and their dogs are so fun and the story is a lovely lesson about love and acceptance. Fun kids book. (I'm an adult and I enjoyed it too). Highly recommend.

Our family pre-ordered this book as soon as we were able to and we were so excited to get our copies today (one for the kids and one for their school library). I had high expectations and I wasn't disappointed. Much like Esther's Facebook page, the book has a wonderfully positive message and a cheerful tone. The photos are beautiful and many of them are hilarious (hint: bubbles). Because we are such fans of Esther I ordered the book even though my kids are in elementary school and it seemed written for pre-schoolers, but both of my kids loved it - they laughed and smiled as we read it together. I'm now ordering for their pediatrician's and dentist's office and I'm sure I'll think of reasons to order more copies...I wish I could give this book ten stars!

I have been following Esther since I stumbled upon her, her dads, and all of their 2 and 4 legged family members years ago. This is a family that just is all about love and acceptance. For years, Esther's many fans have been begging her dads to write a children's book...and it is finally here. The story of Esther and how her dads didn't give up on her but rather accepted her for who (and what size) she is is beautifully told and the illustrations are delightful. My 2 kids are in 4th and 6th grade and well past picture books but both jumped for joy upon seeing the book on the counter when they got home from school and each of them has already read it multiple times. This is a children's book for all ages!

Esther and her Family is amazing!! I can highly recommend their book

I received my book today, on the day it was released as I pre-ordered it. I follow Esther and her Dad's and all her 2 and 4 legged family on all of my social media. I have read her Dad's first book and I've pre-ordered their second. But this children's book is just wonderful. So full of heart and yes, LOVE. I had originally bought it to give to my grandniece, who is 8. But this copy is staying with me, I will have to purchase a second copy to give to Braylen.My 79 year old mother, who also adores Esther, just read the book as well and insisted that this edition stay here. If you have young ones, buy this for them. If you love animals, buy this for yourself. It will warm your heart on a cold winter's day.

I already knew the story of how Esther was adopted and was so looking forward to seeing this book, which will be a gift for my granddaughters. This is a delightful book, full of joy (and engaging illustrations!)

Our entire family loves this book! Esther and her dads are so inspiring. My teenage daughter turned vegan after finding out about Esther. We can all learn from her! An ideal book for teachers to read out loud in class too.

Lovely heart warming book. Bought this for my 5 year old whos autistic. Highly recommend. Esther her dads and friends are internet sensations who brighten up your day.

Bought a couple of copies for kids of friends. Loved it!

This is a children's book,but I love Esther and the drawings and words will make everyone realise what a beautiful life she has.
