Olympic figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi read from her children’s book “Dream Big Little Pig” at the 2011 White House Easter Egg Roll. She brought her story to life as she engaged kids at the Storytime Stage. Through her picture book debut, Kristi inspires children of all ages to dream big! Here’s more about the story:

Poppy is a waddling, toddling pig with big dreams. She wants to be a star! But she soon discovers that’s not as easy as it sounds. Whenever Poppy thinks it might be time to give up, her family reminds her to “Dream Big!” While on a “pig’s day out,” she has so much fun ice skating by gliding and sliding, swirling and twirling on ice that she doesn’t even notice those around her who think pigs can’t skate…and without even knowing it, she achieves her dream while doing something she loves! Poppy becomes the star of the rink

In this funny and inspiring tale that’s perfect for a family read-aloud, Poppy realizes she can succeed at anything as long as she believes in herself and has fun doing it!
