From debut author Rachel Ruiz, When Penny Met POTUS is a unique and clever picture book about a young girl whose mother works for the president of the United States. Penny has heard the term POTUS over and over but doesn't know what it means-and her imagination runs wild! When she spends a day at the office with her mother, she asks a few questions, looks around, and tries to discover just who-or what- POTUS is.
"Younger readers…[will] be entertained by Penny's POTUS fantasies and the bright-eyed energy of newcomer Manwill's animation-style drawings."
Publishers Weekly
"Manwill's colorful Disney-style art is dynamic, familiar, and appealing. Ruiz assumes, probably correctly, that young readers aren't familiar with the POTUS acronym, though it's a bit of a stretch that Penny wouldn't know her mom's boss. However, the humor, imagination, and art more than make up for that, and the fact that Penny's surprise isn't about the president being a woman is a sly and winning detail."
Booklist
"Penny doesn't know what POTUS means - she tries to figure it out while she's with her mother at work."
