Penny Pangolin and the Baboon Bully
(2025)(A book in the Penny Pangolin series)
A Picture Book by Wayne D Kramer
An empowering tale that teaches young readers about standing up to bullies with kindness and courage. Penny Pangolin and the Baboon Bully is a thoughtful and uplifting story about standing up for yourself,
showing kindness, and learning that even bullies can change—perfect for fans of The Berenstain Bears and Little Critter.
When a new student, Bobo Baboon, joins Penny’s school from Africa, she’s eager to welcome him—until he starts teasing her and her friends. From name-calling to ruining games, Bobo seems set on making trouble. Penny tries everything: speaking up, getting help, even inviting Bobo to play. But nothing works—until she sees Bobo getting picked on himself. With her parents’ help, Penny learns that true strength isn’t about getting even—it’s about showing kindness, even when it’s hard—and becoming the kind of friend others might one day become, too.
Aimed at kids ages 3-8, this engaging story also introduces young readers to unique and endangered animals like pangolins and baboons. A fun bonus section at the end includes real-life pangolin facts and a ‘spot the species’ challenge to find hidden animals throughout the book.
Kids ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will discover a gentle, empowering read about friendship, empathy, and the courage to lead by example.
