Penny is a preschooler who discovers that an ancestral poem holds the key to unlocking the magical secrets of a teddy bear passed down from her grandpa, which is filled with her family's history. With the love and support of her family and two special friends, Penny learns that she is never alone in navigating the big feelings that come with being a little kid. When things get tough, she can always turn to those who care for her, and the wisdom of her ancestors.
Penny lives with her parents, Zoe and Jabari, and her cat, Penelepaw in a city brownstone. Her grandmother, Spicy, lives there too, down 19 numbered and colorful wooden stairs that Penny's grandfather, Theodore Allen, painted to help her learn numbers and colors. Saturdays are for family fun time! Brownstone Buddies (that's you!) will recognize familiar sounds and trusted adults in the podcast.
