Every path has its Puddle… Penelope Puddle that is, a West Coast kid with a sunny disposition who never lets a soggy situation dampen her day.
A small umbrella sparks the imagination of Penelope Puddle and becomes a magic wand. With a tap of the umbrella and two little words, Penelope has the power to go anywhere and do anything.
From flying, skiing and sailing, to basking in the sun, Penelope CAN get creative amid lush rural lanes, breezy ocean beaches and snowy mountain peaks that suspend over rainforests and cityscapes. Her imaginary antics merge with realistic scenes that reflect the close proximity of diverse environments at her West Coast playground in British Columbia, Canada, where she was born.
Whether open, shut, draped on her arm or hanging on her foot, Penelope is inspired by her sidekick umbrella to invent outdoor adventures. The umbrella is also a substitute companion that helps her explore independence from her favorite teddy bear.
Penelope rarely uses her trusty umbrella for protection against the weather. Rather, it is the wand with which she leaps into make-believe activities to find real magic and mystery in the outdoor world. Although her face is hidden behind windswept hair, her body language speaks volumes. It is easy to see she relishes every sunbeam, drizzle and drop of life.
Always finding new ways to express herself, Penelope wants to share her ingenuity and can-do spirit with children everywhere. With My Umbrella, I Can: The Magical Journey of Penelope Puddle is a full colour, 24-page read-aloud story for young children, told in rhythmic rhyme. Over 40 illustrations bring the lively little character's imaginings to light.
