Overview

Even a Scaredy-Possum Can Save the Day!Penny is a sweet little possum with a big secret: she is very, very anxious. While other animals play loud games and enjoy the Big Moon Party, Penny worries about the noise. To make matters worse, her body has a mind of its own. When Penny gets scared, she doesn't fight or flight-she flops! Plop. She plays dead. Embarrassed by her uncontrollable fainting spells, Penny tries to hide. But with the help of a kind raccoon named Rickety, she learns a special trick to ground herself when the world gets too loud. But what happens when a real danger creeps onto the playground? When Snaggletooth the stray cat threatens her friends, Penny's ""weakness"" might just be the only thing that can save them. Why Readers Love Penny: Relatable Struggles: A gentle introduction to anxiety, panic, and sensory overload for young children. Coping Mechanisms: Teaches a real grounding technique (""counting cans"") that kids can use in their own lives. Self-Acceptance: Shows that our unique quirks-even the ones we think are silly-can be superpowers in disguise. Perfect for children ages 3-8, Penny Plays Dead is a comforting bedtime story about finding courage in the most unexpected ways.
