Mo Willems 是六次艾美獎、三座凱迪克榮譽獎的得主,被紐約時報譽為「21世紀最傑出新銳作家」,從吵著要開公車的鴿子,到煩惱自己「不夠可怕」的小怪獸,他的繪本充滿了爆笑情節,主角身上也往往能看出許多孩子行為的影子。

他的作品「大吉象和小豬寶」系列,畫風簡潔又充滿童趣,數度榮登紐約時報暢銷書,其中大吉象和小豬寶是對個性天差地別的超級好朋友,一個老是愛擔心這擔心那;另一個卻總是沒煩惱、笑嘻嘻,但他們的友誼是孩子可以學習的,今天我們來看Mo Willems的 Happy Pig Day。

小豬寶興奮的叫著:Gerald! Gerald! 大吉象想說啥事這麼開心啊? ”I am so happy! Today is the best day of the year!” 小豬寶的眼睛因開心而發出璀璨的光!

The best day of the year? 大吉象說:Today is free ice cream day? “No. Today is Happy Pig Day! “ 小豬寶大聲叫著,接著小豬寶開始描述Happy Pig Day有什麼好玩的,“It is the best day to sing pig songs!” ”It is the best day to dance pig dances!”

”It is the best day to eat pig food!” “It is the best day to play pig games!” ”It is best to say: OINKY! OINKY! OINK! ” 大吉象說我到不知道有這節日… ”Ooooh! I did not know about Happy Pig Day.” 小豬寶說,你看!我朋友都來了! “All my friends are here! ” 真的耶,大豬小豬一起OINK! OINK! OINK! 可是大吉象開始覺得有點寂寞 ”That is a lot of pigs. ” 我又不是Pigs… 大吉象默默的走開了,小豬寶注意到大吉象的黯然,他急忙到大吉象身旁說 ”Are you okay?” 大吉象說:I am sorry, Piggy. I have a trunk. I have big ears. I am gray. I do not have a snout. I do not have hooves! I am not PINK. “大吉象說我很想說Happy Pig Day. 但我不是Pig啊!
“I want to say Happy Pig Day in pig. But I am not a pig.I am an elephant…”

大吉象灰心的說我不屬於你們, and I do not belong. 大吉象開始抽抽搭搭的哭了起來, 小豬寶才發現他光自己開心,卻忽略了大吉象的心情,小豬寶趕忙安慰大吉象,“Happy Pig Day is not just for pigs. Happy Pig Day is for anyone who loves pigs.”
大吉象開心了,他也學小豬寶OINK! OINK! OINK! 不過他因為太開心了,他的嚷嚷聲把豬兒們吹得四腳天, Wow! Happy Pig Day is for EVERYONE! HOORAY!!!!
