A little about Penny
Penny is a monarch butterfly with bright orange wings edged in dark brown and dotted with cream. She has big, shiny eyes, rosy cheeks, and two orange-tipped antennae that bob when she talks. Penny is a princess in her butterfly family, and her favorite royal job is welcoming guests to the garden.
Penny loves a reason to celebrate. The first daisy of spring can get its own parade, even if the parade is just Penny flying twice around the flower. She takes her royal curtsy very seriously, right up until she giggles and has to start again.
Penny gets so excited about her plans that she sometimes hands out invitations before she’s decided what everyone will do. When she invited Alice to a garden party, Alice asked if they could sit by the pond. Penny moved the party to the water’s edge and chose a lily pad for the guest of honor. Alice chose the next lily pad over, where she could watch for a while before joining in.
Penny thinks Sprout’s little smoke hearts make excellent party decorations. If one comes out looking like a potato, she declares it a royal potato and asks for another.
