Penelope and her brother Josh love to read and draw comics. When Penelope was 8 years old, she made a comic about her, her friend Reese, and Josh. She asked her Dad if he could read it. He read it and it made him laugh! Afterwards, he told her if she could fix up a few things, rewrite it more clearly, and redraw the panels to make it look cleaner, he'd find a way to get it out there so that other kids can enjoy her story. Penelope asked Josh to help her redraw it and that was their 2018 summer break project.

After researching how to self publish, her Dad kept his promise and published their first eBook in February 2019. After getting some positive feedback from their first book, Penelope and Josh decided they wanted to make it into a series. So during their 2019 summer break, they wrote and drew their second comic. This time Josh helped out with the story and their Dad was able to publish it by the time school started.

The kids got more positive feedback on their second book and even won a reading game contest put on by Miami Dolphins Running Back Myles Gaskin! Myles said that their second book was "Very Creative." He also told them to "Dream big, anything is possible if you're willing to work for it!"

When the Coronavirus pandemic hit and the stay at home order was placed, the kids used it as an opportunity to work on their series. Everyday after virtual school, they would write and draw their third book. It took them 2 months (March and April) to finish it and it was published in May 2020. The kids also gave a shout out to Myles Gaskin in their third book. Thanks Myles!

So excited to continue their story, Penelope and Josh went back in the lab and worked on their fourth book. They wrote and illustrated it during their 2020 summer break (June and July) and it was published in August 2020.

Penelope and Josh’s parents are trying to teach them how to chase their dreams, work hard, earn money, and give back. In 2019, the kids donated all the sales of their first 2 eBooks to Give Kids The World in Orlando, Florida (a nonprofit resort in Central Florida that provides week-long, cost-free vacations to children with critical illnesses and their families).

In 2020, because of the pandemic, they decided to make all their books free to download on Kindle, Apple Books, Nook, & Kobo, so that other kids can have something fun to read at home. Penelope and Josh worked hard on these books. They hope that people will enjoy their stories and get a laugh out of them.

Great for boys and girls ages 7-12. Join the club! More adventures coming soon!!
