A new children's book by Lenna Rhodes: Penelope The Miner

Hi, Brian.

I would like to thank you for your brilliant and golden feedback regarding the revision of Penelope the Miner.

 I did really well with Penelope at the PDAC conference (Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada Conference) in Toronto, and since then, I’ve gotten incredibly busy, including being invited to do storytelling in our community at an exciting “literacy based” event in early April. I will be arriving with my book and story telling props to entertain children and their families. 

Thank you greatly for all that you do.

Warmest Regards, 
Lenna

P.S. This summer, I penned a second children's book!

Penelope The Miner by Lenna Rhodes

Embark on an adventurous journey with Penelope the Miner and dig into the fun world of mining. Penelope’s mother wishes for her to become a ballet dancer, a beauty queen, or a model. Penelope prefers hard hats, safety glasses, bedazzled work overalls, and books about mining. She’s inspired to follow her career dreams by her father, a geologist, and her Aunt Molly from South Africa.  

Written for youngsters 7 to 9 years old. Penelope aims to educate and inspire children to get involved in the mining industry but keeps things cheerful and fun with magical events. The book includes an educational section called: “Digging Deeper into the Book.”  This section encourages children to research earth science facts and to have opinions about the story.

Anyone interested in ordering a copy of Penelope the Miner for $20 can reach out directly to me through my email: lenna.mc.rhodes@gmail.com ~Lenna
