Penelope, the Peculiar Purple Porpoise

Book excerpt: Have you ever been excluded from something because you look different or act different? Penelope has trouble fitting in with the rest of the porpoises because she scares them, due to her purple pallor and the other porpoises being gray color. Penelope goes through her days trying to figure out how to fit in and how to make friends with the other porpoises, no matter what they look like or how they act. Even with big differences, Penelope learns what it is like to be challenged with differences in her world and learns that friendship comes from the heart and not by what someone look like or acts. Once this lesson was learned, she saw her world in a way that was better for all pods of porpoises, and then she could help others to understand too.
