Penelope's Adventures by Gina Arefi
A beautifully illustrated story invites young readers to explore the world through friendship, culture, and discovery.
NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, January 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Author and travel enthusiast Gina Arefi introduces Penelope’s Adventures, a heartwarming children’s book that follows a curious pup on a globe-trotting journey filled with wonder, learning, and joyful exploration. Designed for children ages 3–8 and the adults who read with them, the paperback release combines playful storytelling with vibrant illustrations to inspire curiosity about the world and the people in it.
At the center of the story is Penelope, an adventurous dog whose boundless curiosity leads her across borders and cultures. As she explores new places, tastes unfamiliar foods (carefully), and meets new friends, Penelope discovers that the world is both big and welcoming.
Penelope’s Adventures stands out for its gentle blend of entertainment and early learning. Rather than overwhelming young readers with facts, the book uses story and imagery to introduce cultural awareness, empathy, and openness. The narrative encourages children to ask questions, observe thoughtfully, and approach new experiences with confidence and respect, lessons that resonate well beyond the final page.
Arefi was inspired to write the book as a way to share the joy of travel with young audiences in an accessible and age-appropriate way. Drawing from a love of global exploration, she crafted Penelope’s journey to reflect the small but meaningful moments that make travel transformative, trying something new, connecting with others, and learning through experience rather than fear.

Parents and educators alike will appreciate how Penelope’s Adventures opens the door to conversations about geography, culture, and emotional intelligence, all while maintaining a sense of fun and warmth. Its engaging tone and colorful artwork make it a repeat read for young children discovering the joy of stories.
As the first installment in the Penelope’s Adventures series, the book sets the stage for future tales that continue to nurture imagination and global awareness. With its lovable protagonist and uplifting message, Penelope’s Adventures encourages young readers to see the world as a place full of possibility, one wagging tail at a time.
