One Proud Penny
Randy Siegel, illustrated by Serge Bloch
A penny narrates its own long journey, combining storytelling with the history of a small American coin. One account identifies the narrator as a 1983 penny made of zinc and copper; another describes a penny’s life from 1961 to the present. Along the way, the coin travels from New York City to Portland, Oregon, and Puerto Rico. The book uses the penny’s changing hands and travels to explore currency, place, and the passage of time.
