Bookroo's summary

Penny, fresh from the mint, feels invaluable until she's left behind as other coins are spent. Too small for adventures with Quarter and outpriced by penny candy, she questions her worth. Determined to find her purpose, Penny embarks on a journey to prove her value. Will she discover that self-worth is beyond currency? Dive into a tale rich with humor and lessons on finding one's true value.

From the publisher

Pennies, worthless? Non-cents! Hot off the minting press, Penny feels like a million bucks. But as other coins and bills are spent while she sits forgotten, she begins to doubt her value. She is too small to slot-surf with Quarter. Even penny candy sells for a dime! Refusing to be short-changed, she sets out to find her purpose at any cost. Readers will laugh at a wealth of money puns, learn a basic lesson on US currency, and discover that self-worth is truly priceless.
