NEW YORK CITY - Angela Santomero, the creator behind hit shows like "Blue's Clues" and "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood," has introduced a new children's book series titled "Princess Penelope's Purse of Preposterous Things." The series follows a kind and curious kitten named Princess Penelope who uses creativity, teamwork, and a little bit of imagination to solve everyday problems.
In each story, Penelope reaches into her magical purse to find unusual objects that help her and her friends navigate challenges. The books are designed to encourage problem-solving and social-emotional learning in young readers. Santomero, known for her work in early childhood education, aims to give parents a tool for sparking conversations about empathy and cooperation.
The first book in the series is already available, with more installments planned. Santomero said she hopes the stories will become a bedtime favorite, offering both entertainment and gentle lessons. The series is part of a broader push to provide screen-free learning options for families.
