Penny the Pup Presents The Power of Movement

How do you get your kids to move more in their day?

Have an adorable puppy tell them why movement is so important!

Exercise gives you more than strong muscles, bones, and lungs,

it makes your life so much more fun!

It lessens your stress and your risk of sickness and disease.

It improves your confidence, your behavior, and your sleep.

Your brain will work better and you'll be more ready to learn new things.

You can meet new friends, see new places... there is so much exercise can bring!

In this colorful picture book, Penny the Pup takes kids on an adventure from blah to aha as she discovers the power of movement. Join Penny the Pup as she explains in kid-friendly terms why movement is so important, what happens to your body when you move, and how to add more movement to your day.

Kimberly is a national board certified teacher who has the honor of working with the littlest learners in Delaware. Originally from New Jersey, she is married to her high school sweetheart, Josh, and is the proud fur mama of Penny the pup. When she isn't teaching she loves exploring new places, reading anything and everything, gardening and being outside, and making (and eating!) ice cream. The Penny the Pup series came as a result of Kim's own journey in health. Kim is a triplet who has had her fair share of health issues since she was born, including several severe food allergies. Once she almost entirely reversed her food allergies by improving her nutrition, sleep, and stress, she realized she wished she knew how powerful nutrition, sleep, and mental health were from a young age. After watching the struggles of her littlest learners and seeing how much they love anecdotes about Penny, she was inspired to create stories told by Penny that would put health in simple terms so kids of all ages could be inspired to live a healthy lifestyle from a young age.Penny, the pup behind the book, is a Goldendoodle who absolutely loves life. She enjoys crunching carrots, tending to her garden (you can find her sitting by it daily!), being outside (the crazier the weather the better!), giving hugs, demanding belly rubs, chasing bubbles, and bringing you things to show how much she loves you (such as Mom and Dad's socks).
