Girls can be mean sometimes and this story is meant to encourage kindness, especially to those who may need a friend. In this book, Penny models compassion, courage and helps to create magic in someone else's day. Penny also shares the enduring message that "It's ok to be different" with her new friend Roxie. Penny and the magic puffballs was born out of my love for my daughter Paris, and my desire for her to feel comfortable, confident and secure in her skin. She questioned why her hair was different from all of the other girls and wondered why she couldn't wear her hair like theirs. I wanted her to know that different didn't mean bad, different was special.

In her personal and work experiences, she has seen first-hand the damaging effects of poor self-esteem. Penny and the Magic Puffballs started as a bedtime story designed to help Alonda's daughter feel comfortable with her natural puffy hair. Alonda used the story in the first book as a way to help her then young daughter learn to love her hair and to be comfortable in her skin. After seeing how the Penny stories helped her daughter, she wanted to share them with other little girls. While writing this book, Alonda was diagnosed with cancer. While going through treatment she met women and girls who not only had to deal with the illness but also had to cope with looking and feeling different. Through Roxie, Alonda wanted to celebrate the beauty of all women and girls regardless of outward appearances and encourage girls to love and support each other.
