Healthy habits, happy humans.

That’s what we strive for with the Penny the Pup Presents series! The series came as a result of Kim’s own journey in health. After watching the struggles of her littlest learners and seeing how much they love anecdotes about Penny, her Goldendoodle, 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.

Book Reviews

See what readers have to say about the Penny the Pup series!

"This book & Penny are both adorable! It’s the perfect book to inform and inspire your little ones to eat real, delicious foods. My 4 year old LOVES the story and the easy to understand concepts Penny the Pup helps share throughout. He’s always talking about and asking which foods are “real foods” when it’s mealtime. Our 9 year old niece was fascinated and engaged when we shared it with her, too! Truly a book that resonates with such a wide span of young readers! We need more Penny!"

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).
