Messy Penny

by Roopa Weber (LGC Fellow since 2012)

Roopa is a first time children’s book author who has created the Penny the Peacock series. Her inspiration for Penny came from the values and love provided by her mother. She wanted to find an avenue to instill her mother’s wisdom in her own daughter and carry the message forward generationally. The main character is a lovable peacock who, through her adventures, realizes that the simple things in life are the ones to treasure the most. Messy Penny is the first book of the series and focuses on how true beauty comes from the happiness in one’s heart. The series promotes and fosters self confidence in children of all ages. Read more here.
