This week on What's Poppin' Penny?, we take a nostalgic trip down memory lane with a story that’s close to my heart—Contrary Perry!
I wrote this tale for my Paigie, who, at three years old, was a giggly, spirited little girl with a knack for turning every request into a playful adventure of doing the opposite. Now, 30 years later, my daughter is all grown up, and I’m the proud grandmother of two rambunctious little girls who remind me so much of her and Contrary Perry!
Just like Perry, they’re discovering the joy of doing things their way—and I bet your little Brownstone Buddies will see themselves in this story, too. Get ready for giggles, heartwarming moments, and a dash of nostalgia!

Zoe is learning the delicate art of setting boundaries, even when it doesn’t feel great, while Penny is having a Contrary kind of day! Luckily, Spicy is there to offer Zoe encouragement and wisdom from her years as an early childhood educator.
Meanwhile, T.A. helps Penny navigate her big feelings with the story of Contrary Perry—a little platypus who turns a day of mischief into a lesson in empathy.
