Poppy was a pig. A pot-bellied, waddling, toddling pig. She was a pig with dreams. And she was a pig who dreamed big! She wanted to be a star.

Poppy had always dreamed of being a posh prima ballerina.

She tried out for Swan Lake, a famous ballet. But Poppy was not graceful. In fact, she was quite clumsy.

“Follow your dreams!” said Poppy’s mother, who loved her no matter what.
“You go, girl!” said Poppy’s grandparents, who were her biggest fans.
“Dream big, pig!” said Poppy’s best friend, Emma, who was always there for her.

“Dancing is just not for you,” said the people in charge of the ballet.
“Try something else!”

So Poppy tried out for Singing Stars, a popular chorus competition. She had always dreamed of being a soulful singer.

But Poppy sang off-key. And to be honest, she couldn’t really carry a tune.

“Follow your dreams!” said Poppy’s mother.
“You go, girl!” said Poppy’s grandparents.
“Dream big, pig!” said Emma.

“Singing is just not for you,” said the people in charge of the competition.
“Try something else!”
