Penelope's Hope
Penelope's Hope
Laurie Guderian
Illustrator Anthony LeBeau
Penelope was no ordinary dog. She loved to play at the park and fetch the mail, but she also learned to talk and read and she had big hopes for her future. Ever since she was a pup, she wanted to be a Groomer when she grew up – a People Groomer.
A delightful story about a little dog with a big dream, Penelope’s Hope is all about never giving up on your dreams, even if they turn out a little different than how you first imagined. Inspired by the author’s own pup and brought to life with charming illustrations, Penelope will warm hearts and inspire young readers to have big hopes of their own.

About the Author and Illustrator
Laurie Guderian is a retired nurse and avid reader. She lives in Eagle River, Alaska with her husband, Roger, and their doggy, Sami Jo. Her inspiration for writing comes from her friends in the writing group at the Chugiak Senior Center.
Anthony LeBeau will graduate from Arcadia University in May 2021 with a BFA in illustration. He says about his art, "The best form of entertainment is a story. Stories, such as those in children’s books or comics, rely heavily on images. It is these images that my art is based upon. My art is expressed in the form of comics, children’s books, detailed single images, and videogame based art, often surrounding such themes as science-fiction, fantasy, landscape, character design. My art has been described as funny, whimsical, playful and detailed. My intention is to create art that entertains, after all who doesn’t like a story, or something funny, or something that is simply just visually appealing."
