Stella Wells, fledgling scientist, has a new baby brother, Drake, and she is seriously considering the possibility that he is a duck--but further research is required to test that hypothesis.

Transitions in a child's life--getting a hair cut, learning to ride a bike, and making friends on the first day of school--bring opportunities for new, different, and exciting experiences.

What is a purple person? Great question. I mean, really great! Because purple people always ask really great questions. They bring their family, friends, and communities together, and they speak up for what's right. They are kind and hardworking, and they love to laugh (especially at Grandpa's funny noises)! A purple person is an everyday superhero! How do you become one? That's the fun part! Penny Purple will lead you through the steps. Get ready...

Penny's friend Mateo is adopting a dog! Mateo is determined to be a good dog owner. Luckily, he can use his purple skills! He asks questions about the puppy's food, works hard to take care of the puppy, and uses his voice to make sure the puppy feels safe. Best of all, Mateo, Penny, and the new puppy get to be themselves and have fun together!
