Based on his song, "Penelope Judd," Shai Linne tells an allegorical tale that helps kids understand the Gospel story. Penelope Judd is a young girl living in a very messy land. Her whole town is covered in mud and only filled with children. No one is kind, the kids fight constantly, everything is sad and dirty, and Penelope feels hopeless. But one day, she receives a message that changes everything. She has been invited to meet a spotless Prince.

This lyrical story helps kids see that, like Penelope, people live in a broken, messy, sinful world. But long ago, a Prince left His perfect home in heaven to come to earth where sin and death are everywhere--kind of like the muddy town. He lived a sinless life and took the punishment for our sin on the cross so that, like Penelope, we can be made new.

The words in this book follow the song's lyrics so that kids can read and listen simultaneously.
