Wigger is a 1974 novel written by William Goldman about a young girl who loses her blanket.

Wigger was named for a blanket that belonged to Goldman's daughter Susanna.^[1] Goldman later said the novel was one of his favourites and writing it was a "wonderful experience... compared to what it's like ordinarily."^[2]
