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.
For ages 4-7.
