The Pig Who Noticed: (And That Counts.)

The Pig Who Noticed (And That Counts.) is a quietly funny illustrated book about paying attention and assuming it might matter.

Meet Olive.

Olive notices things.

She pauses.

She waits to see if anyone else does.

Nothing much happens.

With gentle illustrations and understated humour, this book explores recognition, expectation, and the uncomfortable gap between doing something and being seen for it. Olive notices the small details, the changes, the moments that feel worth acknowledging, even when no one reacts and no one applauds.

This is a reflective, dry-humoured picture book for older teens and adults who have ever noticed something quietly, waited for it to matter, and carried on anyway.

Noticing does not need an audience to be real.

And that counts.
