Penelope and Jack, Together Apart

Reading Penelope and Jack, Together Apart is the perfect way for parents and children to have a positive experience sharing their feelings about facing tough times, and seeing the inevitable light at the end of the tunnel.

While social distancing on the 147th floor of his family's 'above the clouds' apartment, Jack develops a close friendship with Penelope, who lives in the building across the street. Cleverly communicating across the empty space between their balconies, Jack and Penelope launch a friendship in the most unlikely of scenarios. With a little help from their families, human connection and kindness prevail.

Together Apart reminds us that even in challenging times there is no stopping a child's ingenuity and love. Parents will be reminded of the spark of optimism and joy we all felt as children. Now is the perfect time to share these feelings.

As a children's picture book author,  teacher, parent, and grandparent, Professor Stork believes picture books can help change the world for the better. They can help make the world a friendlier place by empowering children to make a difference. Leading the charge will be children ages five through eleven.

During these formative years children are most excited to learn how they can, individually and with friends, make a difference. The tools we give them during these years last a lifetime, and when the time is right, and their interest rises to the surface, they will know how to make a positive difference in the world.

Children love to read books, and children well into middle school love to read picture books.  Books are a powerful tool in the struggle to keep children away from screens and off devices, where the influencers and influences they interact with may not be delivering the strongest messages, in terms of helping them build a healthy and positive lifestyle.
