The book's author, Jonathan Hillman, who graduated from Hamline University in the Writing for Children and Young Adults program, tweeted about his book being featured in Pizza Hut's book club for young kids. BOOK IT! 's website shows the book is for kids from Pre-K to 3yo:

 Hooray! Thank you @pizzahut for featuring BIG WIG (and for the MANY pizzas over the years ). I grew up doing Book It!, so this is really special. And thank you @mychal3ts for sharing!  #Pride."
