A nearsighted porcupine must confront her greatest fear: the bear.
Penny Lu, a nearsighted porcupine, relies on her sharp quills to feel brave. But when faced with the threat of a bear, her courage is truly tested. Can she overcome her fears and stand strong against real and imagined dangers? With delightful rhymes and charming illustrations, this tale invites readers to join Penny Lu on her journey of self-discovery and bravery.
A cautious porcupine summons the courage to stand up to threats both real and imagined, reassuring readers that they, too, can face their fears. Like all porcupines, Penny Lu is nearsighted. So while her incredible sense of smell leads her to all sorts of yummy food, predators can be hard to spot. Thankfully, she has another feature that’s quite amazing–her pointy quills! Even when she’s scared, they make her look powerful. But sometimes Penny Lu doesn’t feel powerful. And she wonders what she’d do if she came face-to-face with the predator she fears the most–THE BEAR! With its rollicking, rhyming text and adorable art, Penny Lu Porcupine will charm readers and reassure them that they too can face their fears.
