In this heartwarming episode of What’s Poppin’ Penny?, Penny sets her sights on learning a brand-new skill—but quickly discovers it’s not as easy as it looks. With encouragement from her magical teddy bear, T.A., and her wise, talking cat, Penelepaw, Penny learns that passion alone isn’t enough to reach a goal. Through a sweet lesson (and a few tumbles along the way!), Penny discovers the power of combining passion with practice and perseverance.

Just like little kittens who practice leaping from small puffs to countertops, Penny realizes that with time, effort, and never giving up, little girls can achieve big things. Penny Power is a gentle reminder for Brownstone Buddies everywhere that every step forward is part of the journey!

Tune in and be part of the magic!

This week on What's Poppin' Penny?, we take a nostalgic trip down memory lane with a story that’s close to my heart—Contrary Perry!

I wrote this tale for my Paigie, who, at three years old, was a giggly, spirited little girl with a knack for turning every request into a playful adventure of doing the opposite. Now, 30 years later, my daughter is all grown up, and I’m the proud grandmother of two rambunctious little girls who remind me so much of her and Contrary Perry!

Just like Perry, they’re discovering the joy of doing things their way—and I bet your little Brownstone Buddies will see themselves in this story, too. Get ready for giggles, heartwarming moments, and a dash of nostalgia!
