Beware of Bacon Bits Celeste T. Parker

Beware of Bacon Bits is similar to its literary sister, Pigs Don't Wear Pearls, in that the main character is, and the theme still revolves around, a pig. This time, however, the pig has grown up and is now imparting wisdom to his son. The story opens up with a glimpse into the home of the Azur's (pronounced "as you are"). Bo Azur Jr. (Boaz you are) has just turned ten and is wrestling with what can often be one's biggest foe, maturity. During a walk with his dad, he discovers that there is strength in weakness, that a life of significance is often one of sacrifice, and that we must eventually put away childish things. Beware of Bacon Bits seeks to debunk the myth about what it really means to be a man and instead encourages boys to no longer settle for being less than who they are meant to be.
