Ashley Rice Books – Poems, Quotes & Girl Power
A letter from Penelope
Hi,
My name is Penelope J. Miller, and I am the narrator of many of Ashley Rice’s books (and now this website, too). I’m here on this page to introduce these books and to tell you “Hi.” The pictures and poems on these pages were made for you. They are here to keep you posted on all the possibilities that are out there. They’re also here to remind you how valued and talented you are.
Some of the pages in these books are about the simple things in life. When you are out there finding your way, it’s important to remember the things that make you happy. For me, Penelope J. Miller, those things include reading books — sometimes I do other things, too!
Before I get too far into my letter, I just want to say: always remember that you are brave and strong. You are doing amazing things every day (never forget it!). Dreams take work, as you know — but they also take dreaming. So, Happy reading. Wherever you are, and whatever’s going on in your life, I hope you have a great day — and that all your dreams come true! And if you ever need a friend, I’m here in these pages.
Your friend,
Penelope J.
