About the Author Iris Benn lives in Wellington, Florida with her husband of forty-one years, Dr. Harvey Benn. She has three sons and seven grandchildren. Memories of her sons’ first “big days” inspired her to write this life lesson book for future generations anticipating their first day of school. For some children, it is exciting; for others, the unfamiliarity can be scary. Iris still remembers the separation anxiety and unknowns of sending a child to school, and hopes that sharing Penelope’s Big Day can help your child get ready for their own big day. Iris is working on additional books about Penelope and her childhood adventures. Keep on the lookout for the next book in the series!
