A heartwarming, rhyming picture book that teaches children ages 3-6 the importance of saving, planning ahead, and making smart choices.

Penny the Pelican Plans Ahead follows young Penny as she learns that her pelican family is growing-and that means preparing for the future. With vibrant illustrations and playful rhyme, this charming story introduces children to foundational concepts like saving, responsibility, and goal-setting in a way that's simple, fun, and age-appropriate.

Perfect for parents, educators, and caregivers who want to spark early conversations about family changes, financial literacy, and life skills.

These relatable, practical lessons are woven into a joyful story filled with warmth, love, and gentle guidance.

Whether you're looking for a children's picture book to teach your little one about money, a big sibling book to prepare for a new arrival, or simply a sweet story about growing up with purpose, Penny the Pelican Plans Ahead delivers.
