    In progress

    In this heartwarming episode of What’s Poppin’ Penny?, Penny sets her sights on learning a brand-new skill—but quickly discovers it’s not as easy as it looks. With encouragement from her magical teddy bear, T.A., and her wise, talking cat, Penelepaw, Penny learns that passion alone isn’t enough to reach a goal. Through a sweet lesson (and a few tumbles along the way!), Penny discovers the power of combining passion with practice and perseverance.

    Just like little kittens who practice leaping from small puffs to countertops, Penny realizes that with time, effort, and never giving up, little girls can achieve big things. Penny Power is a gentle reminder for Brownstone Buddies everywhere that every step forward is part of the journey!
