This set of three hardcover children's books, beautifully illustrated by Jade Zivanovic, is perfect for kids ages 4-8.
Penny Pangolin and the Missing Ant Cake: Penny’s favorite lemon-ant cake dessert is in trouble! Her neighbor, Edith Aardvark, steals the cake and puts herself in danger, forcing Penny to choose between what she feels is deserved and what is right. Leaning on themes of forgiveness, grace, and the consequences of actions, friends will ultimately come together in a happy twist ending.
Penny Pangolin Wants a Pet: Penny convinces her parents that she’s responsible enough for more than just a pet plant. Out of an act of compassion blossoms an unexpected, unbreakable companionship with an orphaned red panda.
Penny Pangolin and the RockSoup: The village festival is on! Penny is in for an unsettling surprise when she unexpectedly eats something that makes pangolins sick. Her friend comes to the rescue with a remedy only a pangolin could appreciate—homemade rock soup!
The Penny Pangolin books are targeted for ages 3 to 8.
All of Penny Pangolin's adventures are episodic and can be enjoyed in any order!
