Simple and charming.  As friend Joe, the cat, keeps telling him, you're a larger pig now, and your spots are larger.  They will not go away so get used to them. ( )

The spotty pig just cant understand why he was born different! He wants so badly to get rid of his spots and just be a normal piglet. The spotty pig tries to get rid of his spots each season: he tries to bake them off, cover them in mud, freeze them off, and wash them off. But nothing seems to work! His spots are even growing bigger as he grows. However, soon the spotty pig meets a spotty girl pig! They both no longer pay any attention to their spots, until their spotty piglets are born. During this time, the spotty pig realizes that spots are beautiful! This would be a great book to help your students understand that differences need to always be embraced. ( )
