Book Cover & Preview Text
This is Penny.
She is a peculiar penguin. Penny is positive that it’s important to do the right thing. She persistently pursues perspective from her parents and teachers that particularly inspire her!
Penny goes to Poppy Public School on Pleasant Hill. Although Penny has many friends, she does not worry about being popular because she knows that being kind is more important. Penny is pretty from the inside to the outside because her heart is happy. She is positively radiant!
One day at recess, Penny was playing with Polly the Parrot and Peggy the Platypus when she noticed Peter the Panda sitting alone on the swings. He looked pretty unhappy. Penny decided she should probably go talk to Peter.
Polly and Peggy did not think it was a pleasant idea for Penny to leave their play group, when they were having a perfectly wonderful time playing together.
Penny persisted. “Please be patient and kind. Remember, it’s important to do the right thing. I promise I’ll be back after I help Peter with his problem.”
Penny proceeded to the swing set. She asked Peter in a pleasant voice, “What is perplexing you, Peter?”

What makes Penny a peculiar penguin??
Penny’s character was created based on the truths found in the book of Proverbs. Penny chooses to seek wisdom. She strives to always do the right thing, no matter what others are doing or saying. Her heart and mind are focused on what God says is right, not on what’s cool or popular.
She is different because she does not follow the crowd, but rather God’s best plan for her life.
As Penny strives to live out God’s wisdom in a joyful way, it positively impacts many others! Penny is always learning and growing!
“We fell in love with sweet Penny very quickly and look forward to applying the lessons she learns to our everyday lives. We hope there will be more books about Penny and her adventures!”
