We first met Chickapig this fall when I helped announce the Chickapig game (a grassroots board game in 2016 by game creator Brian Calhoun of Rockbridge Guitar and musician Dave Matthews). Now he is back in a fun children’s book with a big message.
Little Joe Chickapigwants to be just like his adventurous grandpa. But how did the old chickapig hero do it? Find out in this fun, original story about following your dreams that will be released on March 10, 2019.
You will love this quirky Chickapig because he is helplessly adorable in this story with a fantastic message to “follow your dreams whatever they may be”.

With my son I always keep that in mind. At 10 years old he is very well adjusted and is an excellent friend and student. We always read before bed every night since he was an infant. He goes in and out of phases being an independent reader, but I mainly have kept reading before bed as a traditional me-time and a way to de-escalate at night.
I also give him days off! For sports season and school he gets a certain number of free passes ( 1 per semester at school and 1 per sport season). His free pass can be used at anytime he wants which means he gets to wake up and for no real reason say “not today”. He does not abuse it and has learned through the years to SAVE his free days when he looks ahead and realizes an event may happen where he wants or needs that day. Why? Because sometimes we just need to self care and to call in a day but not in ways that it becomes bad habits. I gave them to his step brothers when they were younger too and they remember it. Both older boys are excellent employees today and this ‘time off’ did not create bad habits for them but they learned to ‘slow down’ and ‘take a day’.
These Zendoway Cubes are excellent tools and every home and classroom should give them a try.
