Meet the Author

Photo of author Penny Padgett with her two books, "This House Rocks!" and "What Good Can I Do?".

Author Penny Padgett grew up in Wisconsin, the youngest of six children. It’s where her mom gave her a very precious gift… the love of reading. As an adult, Penny kept learning as a priority and tried her hand in many roles. From Welder to Quality Tech to Early Learning Teacher to Human Resources Coordinator to Sales & Design Consultant. She really enjoyed them all. So, why not add Author to the list? Whether she’s in the kitchen, hosting a party, or sitting around the campfire, Penny’s family can always make her smile, especially the little ones who call her by her favorite name, YaYa. Penny’s goal of her writing is to encourage children to share, be kind, and have all the fun they possibly can!
