Monroe takes the simple act of a little Prairie Dog named Penelope looking for a little peace in her world and weaves it into a story. Penelope has 'no time to play' with her sister, brother, and niece. She needs to find some peace and a place to think her big thoughts. Her journey takes her far and wide and she even finds a snack on her travels. When she finally reaches her destination of peace and quiet, she thinks and thinks. That is when the biggest thought she ever had comes into her mind.
