The True Adventures of Esther the Wonder Pig Hardcover – Picture Book, March 6, 2018

by Steve Jenkins (Author), Derek Walter (Author), Caprice Crane (Author),
4.9 out of 5 stars 647 ratings
Esther the Wonder Pig was an inspiration and an icon. In this adorable, love-filled picture book inspired by her two dads’ New York Times bestselling memoir, Esther teaches us that families come in all shapes and sizes.

When Steve and Derek adopted a mini pig named Esther, they had no idea that she would turn out to be not-so-mini after all. Esther would soon grow too large for her bed, and their small apartment. She got into everything, including her neighbor's tasty garden. When her new family saw just how big and wonderful Esther really was, they fell in love—and their lives changed forever. The whole family moved from a small apartment to a big farm, where Esther and her animal friends could fit happily (and get into a little less mischief). 

Readers will love following Ester and her family on the journey that leads them to create the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, home to rescued animals of all kinds.

A 2019 Rainbow Book List Book

 
Praise for The True Adventures of Esther the Wonder Pig:

​"Young readers are sure to fall in love with Esther just like her dads did."―School Library Journal

"With the help of Doerrfeld’s cheery, straightforward cartooning, Esther’s story becomes a sweet domestic comedy, as much about besotted parental love as it is about life with a behemoth pig." ―Publishers Weekly

"The delightful, digitally-painted illustrations are comical, colorful, and add just the right amount of detail to the well-written storyline. Young animal lovers will enjoy this book... a good example of narrative nonfiction for the youngest students and... a lovely story about love."―School Library Connection

Praise for Esther the Wonder Pig: Changing the World One Heart at a Time:
 
"Not many people would change their entire lifestyle for the sake of a pet. But Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter did exactly that when their tiny "mini pig" Esther blossomed into a 650-pound beauty. This funny, moving, and heartwarming book charts the journey from Esther's arrival to the setting up of the Happily Ever Esther Farm. It's the greatest love story ever told between two men and their pig."―Ricky Gervais

"Told with self-effacing humor and a sense of wonder at what life can bring, Esther is the story of the transformative power of love between people and animals and how the decision to try to make a difference on a personal level can effect positive change far beyond anything that might have been imagined."―Larry Levin, New York Times bestselling author of Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love

"First, Jenkins and Walter opened their hearts to one very special pig, and now they are opening their doors and letting us in, too. Esther the Wonder Pig is a tender, funny story that manages to sneak up behind you when you're least expecting it and change your life. Be prepared to fall in love--with a pig."―Jasmin Singer, author of Always Too Much and Never Enough: A Memoir and co-host of Our Hen House

"Steve and Derek show us what we already know at Mercy for Animals--that farmed animals are just as deserving of love and respect as the dogs and cats we share our home with--or, in their case, the pig they share their home with."―Nathan Runkle, founder & president, Mercy for Animals

"An inspirational, enjoyable read, especially for animal lovers."―Booklist

"A good example of narrative nonfiction for the youngest students and...a lovely story about love. This would make a good, humorous addition to collections."―School Library Connection

Absolutely delightful and highly recommend
This is a totally darling and delightful book. It's sweet and funny and I am thrilled. The story is fun and the illustrations are truly wonderful. Unfortunately, it arrived bouncing around quite loose in a huge box like a fly in a bottle. There was only one small swath of stiff brown packing paper wadded up and thrown in with it, just enough to catch on the cover and tear it. It was unprotected and the book arrived with a tear in the back cover. Thankfully, Amazon has agreed to replace the damaged copy with a new one, but that was a bone-headed way to ship it. I hope the replacement comes better protected and undamaged.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The True Story of the Always Smiling Wonder Pig Named Ester Who Just Makes Everyone Smile
    Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    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.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2018
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    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.

    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 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 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!
