Penelope Pine is a delightful story that teaches young readers to be
happy with who they are! Penelope is a pine tree. She lives in the
forest with oaks, poplars, and maples, and enjoys playing with her tree
friends. But when autumn rolls around and her friends turn beautiful
colors, Penelope the evergreen believes that she doesn't measure up. But
when winter comes and her friends are suddenly very cold without their
leaves, Penelope learns that she is perfect just the way she is. The
story was crafted by the daughter and father team of Amelia and Evan
Balkan.
