Penny the Penguin lives on a snowy hill where all her friends love to slide.
But not Penny.
Sliding looks way too scary.
Day after day, Penny sits and watches her friends zoom and zip past—until one chilly morning, her little brother needs help. Without thinking, Penny finds herself sliding faster than she ever imagined… and discovers something amazing about herself.
With gentle encouragement from her friends and a dash of courage, Penny learns the true meaning of bravery—
that being brave doesn’t mean you’re not scared…
It means you go forward even when you are.
This sweet, beautifully illustrated paperback book is perfect for:
Children ages 3–8 learning about courage and confidence
Bedtime stories that inspire bravery and kindness
Classroom and library read-alouds about facing fears
A heartwarming tale for every child who has ever stood at the top of their own “hill” and wondered if they could do it.
