Olivia is a feisty pig who has more energy than she knows what to do with. She sings loudly, draws on the walls, and builds skyscrapers. Not tired at bedtime, she asks for many stories—much to the chagrin of her exhausted mother.
On a cold, snowy day, a young girl and her mother shop to buy ingredients for vegetable soup. At home, they work together―step by step―to prepare the meal. While the soup is cooking, they spend the time playing games and reading. Before long, Daddy's home and the family sits down to enjoy a home made dinner.
