The Parmesan Pig Books Series continues to explore social-emotional learning (SEL) competencies of social awareness and relationship skills with a new cast of delectable characters and a new theme: NEEDS vs. WANTS. Here in Book 2, Parmesan Pig will witness Pumpkin Pie Penguin, a waiter at a restaurant, and discover ways to actively support those who NEED it. Additionally, she will welcome Guacamole Goose, a new student in school, who does not seem to have as many material WANTS as his peers. See how they both demonstrate that social class is not a barrier to friendship.
