Chris P. Bacon: My Life So Far... by Len Lucero and Kristina Tracy; illustrated by Penny Weber | Not YA

This book is precious, and so is Chris P. Bacon! Chris P. Bacon's back legs did not work, but when Dr. Len gave him a set of wheels of his very own, Chris became an Internet star thanks to his bravery and peppy attitude. Told in bright, happy illustrations as well as a few real life photos, Chris' story is heartwarming and cute. I especially like that they included quite a few actual pictures at the end of the book. It's a message about remaining positive even when you face difficult trials, and it is told from Chris' point of view, which most kids will probably immensely enjoy. It's an inspirational tale and after reading it with a child, you could go online and watch videos of Chris or look up more pictures of this awesome little pig.
