Penny Piper

Penny Piper writes children's books filed with humor, heart, imagination, and a slightly different way of looking at the world.

Many of her stories are inspired by real-life moments, family, friends, and the wonderfully unexpected things children say and do.

She believes some of the best childhood lessons aren't taught by telling children what to think, but by giving them opportunities to wonder, question, explore, make choices, and discover things for themselves.

Through the hilarious logic and unexpected conclusions of Totally Jace, Penny encourages children to think outside the box and look at the world from a different point of view. In The Wonderful World of Alyssa LaRue Lorainna McGoo, friendship, compassion, kindness, animals, and everyday adventures invite children to think about how their choices affect the people—and the world—around them.

Most of all, Penny hopes her books bring children and the grown-ups who love them together—to laugh, talk, think, and perhaps see something in a way they hadn't considered before.

Because sometimes the most interesting discoveries begin with a simple question:

“What if?”
