It shows that feeling happy on the inside makes you look beautiful on the outside. In this book 'happiness' and 'pig' have been put together to make a fun word 'hap-pig-ness' - the happiness that a pig feels. The story is set on a farm. Mia is a very cute little piglet. She has many friends and sometimes the farmer's daughter comes to visit her. The girl has long conversations with Mia and Mia grunts back to her. One day the girl brings Mia a crown of flowers. She puts it on Mia's head and tells her that she looks like a pig princess. Mia feels like a princess. She cannot stop smiling with her crown on, but after a few days it breaks and falls to the ground. Mia no longer feels lovely. She starts looking for other things to make her feel pretty again - the scarecrow's red tie works until it gets stuck in a fence and Mia has to leave it behind. Then she rolls in mud and feels pretty, until her skin itches and she has to wash it off. Now she has nothing to wear to make her look pretty. The farmer's daughter comes for another visit and tells Mia how beautiful she looks. Mia is not sure why, but when she looks at herself in some water she realizes that she is actually wearing something very special: her smile. She decides to wear a smile every day because it makes her look lovely and feel lovely too. Hap-pig-ness is part of the exciting Farm-tastic series.
