ABOUT THE BOOK

PENNY’S DREAM

When Penny drifts off to sleep, a friendly firefly guides her into a dreamy world where small acts of kindness, a hug for a sad squirrel, patience with a tangled bird wing, and a song shared with a lonely child make everything brighter. Penny’s Dream is a lyrical, tender bedtime poem that shows children how simple, loving actions can change the world.

Bedtime becomes an adventure when Penny follows the soft glow of a firefly into a dreamscape of meadows, song, and gentle surprises. Along the way, she meets animals and neighbors who need help, and with patient hands and a kind heart, she mends wings, shares groceries, offers friendship, and spreads joy. As dawn arrives, Penny wakes warmed by the memory of kindness and ready to bring that light into her day. Camilla Bacelo’s Penny’s Dream celebrates empathy, community, and the idea that every child, no matter how small, can make the world better.
