What if everyone else seemed to know who they were meant to be...except you?
In the magical land of Eudora, every child is given a mysterious seed at birth-a seed that holds the promise of who they are meant to become. But when Penelope Pumpernickel's seed refuses to sprout, she begins to wonder: What is wrong with me? Who am I supposed to be? Determined to find the answer, Penelope sets off on an enchanting adventure, seeking wisdom from the creatures she meets along the way. But no matter where she looks, no one can tell her what she desperately wants to know. Until an unexpected encounter changes everything. Penelope and the Seed is a heartfelt story about identity, self-discovery, self-love, and learning to quiet the voices of the world long enough to hear the still, small voice of love within. Woven throughout Penelope's journey are gentle themes of purpose, a loving Creator, and discovering that we were each created with something uniquely beautiful inside us. Perfect for young readers who are learning that their worth and identity aren't determined by comparison, other people's opinions, or how quickly they seem to "bloom." A meaningful story for parents and children to enjoy together-and a beautiful reminder that sometimes what we're searching for has been planted within us all along.
