Story Summary

Max is a little pig with a big problem: he’s completely fed up with his loud, messy family – and worst of all, they boo when he tries to play his beloved harmonica. Seeking peace, quiet, and a tidy lifestyle, he squeezes under the fence and sets off across the farm for the red hen house. But as Max soon discovers, living with free-range chickens, strict yoga drills, and scratchy straw isn’t quite the dream he bargained for. A heartwarming, humorous look at belonging, identity, and appreciating home.
