Penny and the Magic Puffballs Volume 2: Roxie's First Day

By Alonda Williams

In this second installment of the Penny and Magic Puffballs book series, Penny witnesses bullying and learns the valuable lesson of being a friend in a time of need. Girls can be mean sometimes and this story is meant to encourage kindness, especially to those who may need a friend. In this book, Penny models compassion, courage and helps to create magic in someone else's day. Penny also shares the enduring message that “It’s ok to be different” with her new friend Roxie. Penny and the magic puffballs was born out of my love for my daughter Paris, and my desire for her to feel comfortable, confident and secure in her skin. She questioned why her hair was different from all of the other girls and wondered why she couldn’t wear her hair like theirs. I wanted her to know that different didn’t mean bad, different was special.
