Mr. Penny’s new adventure focuses on citizen activism to tackle the climate crisis
BALTIMORE, October 10, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Author Lucile McConnell published the second book in Mr. Penny’s adventure series, “Mr. Penny for President: A Fable of Global Citizenship”. In this family-focused picture book, Mr. Penny highlights the importance of tackling the climate crisis and offers readers a way to take action.
The hero of the story is a lowly penny, who feels insignificant and overwhelmed in the face of the climate crisis. In his adventure, he finds the strength within himself to collect all the pieces of Earth from us to save Statue of Liberty rising tides of the climate crisis. Mr. Penny learns that the solution to the climate crisis lies within everyone – through connection to Mother Nature, to each other and to the greater good.
“As we look to the future, I want to inspire readers to realize the power of positive individual citizen engagement that Mr. Penny symbolizes,” McConnell said. “By combining our individual participation, we can meet the challenges facing our nation.”
In “Mr. Penny for President”, McConnell merges the concepts of economic, environmental and intergenerational stewardship. It aims to motivate readers to be the positive change they want to see to save the Earth through their participation on an individual creative basis. McConnell wants to use Mr. Penny’s story not only to encourage discussion of this critical issue, but also to give readers hope.
50% of all proceeds from the sale of “Mr. Penny for President” are donated to environmental nonprofits and the remaining 50% are donated to UNICEF’s relief fund for Ukrainian refugee children out of respect for book illustrator, Igor Malova Ukrainian artist.
As Mr. Penny says, “We are the heroes we were looking for.”
