While walking home on a rainy day, Penny and her grandmother, Spicy, encounter some of their favorite neighbors and take the time to get to know them better. Along the way, a mishap strikes: Penny loses T.A., her magical teddy bear, before she can recite the special poem that brings him to life. Feeling worried and uncertain, Penny finds comfort in a heartfelt prayer that renews her hope and determination.

Mehta, an Indian-American writer celebrated for her award-winning podcasts and TV shows, and Michael MejiaMendez, a gifted actor and singer who has become a beloved part of the What’s Poppin’ Penny? family.
