Role reversal between sexes.

This book could be a great read for anyone who is interested in exploring social ideas surrounding gender roles. Piggybook is a unique story that addresses the unequal distribution of domestic work in households and how it affects women. This book can be thought-provoking and an excellent conversation starter for readers of all ages. The story's most distinctive feature is the role reversal between the sexes, which is used to make an insightful statement on gender roles.
