Penny and Me

Maria Teresa "Terry" Ornelas Ibarra has combined many years of experience as an elementary school teacher with decades as a best friend to craft this story of how a friendship flourishes. Living with big families in a small town, Penny and Terry learn to make their own fun as they move from childhood to adolescence. Their exploits and misadventures will be familiar to anyone who grew up in similar situations and to anyone who cherishes real friendship, recalling a time when life seemed a little bit slower and a lot more vivid.



Penny and Me is a true story that demonstrates how lifelong bonds are formed. Readers will find themselves returning to this delightful book again and again. It is a great addition to any child's collection and a feel-good read for all ages.
