About the Penny

One day six-year-old Annie watched her father cut apart an old wooden sailboat. That evening while being tucked into bed, she asked him to tell her a story about the boat, named "Penny." Her father told her about the adventures of the Penny, the grandfather who built her, and the grandson who learned dear lessons from both. Andy Cutts and Katherine Roy offer an affectionate tale—based on true events—about transition, family, and new beginnings that will resonate with readers of all ages.
