Penny the Mirror

Mirrors have it tough: They feel like they are not doing a good job. because whenever people stare at them they (almost) always say bad things. Who would have thought, that the mirrors out there, well, they take it personally. One plucky little mirror decides to take things into her own hands (yes, she's got hands) - for the sake of her ancestors and mirrors everywhere. Penny, the Mirror is one mirror's hilarious life-changing journey to acceptance and in turn an empowering story for all readers to accept and celebrate themselves too. What to expect: - Fun story with quirky characters - Vintage-inspired illustrations with bold and simple shapes - Important message like self-love and confidence Partner Bios: Dave Bell is a writer, creative director and curator.
