Are children born with compassion?

Can you teach empathy? Is compassion learned? With charming illustrations, The Luckiest Penny shares the secret of how to celebrate our differences and realize our worth. Seen through the eyes of a rare 1943, pure copper penny, we take a hero's journey as he becomes triumphant and finds unconditional love!

 

"One of the most prolific events of Ability Explosion was the exuberant performance of The Luckiest Penny by Deborah Weed. The story which examines individual self-worth affects the sensibilities of everyone who can see and hear it. The uplifting musical is a testament to the efforts and goals of the author and creator and can only benefit humanity with its inspiration and message."

"It was a pleasure meeting you during the NYSOTA Conference.  You are truly an inspiration to me.  You are an intelligent, kind and warm soul with the largest heart that I have ever encountered.  When you hugged me the first time, it was such a true honor, that my heart melted. Actually you hugged me twice, and taking the special moment to embrace us all, was amazing and grateful. The connection you made with my classmates and I, will be remembered forever. I think your book is magnificent and I bought one for my two sons. Every night I read them a book before bedtime, and by now I could probably recite your book word for word by memory, because they just enjoy it so much.  Every time I read them the story I always have to read the special message you personally wrote to them, before, and after the story. We also speak of how my youngest son's memory of you was, during the end of the play with the interaction you had with the children to answer your question of self worth, and he went up and spoke of his adventures riding bikes. I just wanted you to know that he talks about that every time we read your book, and as his mom, I know he will carry that memory forever, which I am so grateful and proud of. At the end of the story, we also discuss what is important and meaningful to the boys in their life.  I am grateful to bond with them over the incredible story which is more than a story, it is a humbling, true, life lesson. I truly hope and pray that your book is found in the schools and homes all over the world because so many children need such a wholesome story to have in their lives.  I think the play was an amazing portrayal of your book and I am blessed to have been apart of it.  Just being there, sharing the moment with you, was surreal for me. I wish you nothing but the best and much success in your endeavors. You deserve every moment of it.  Hopefully, our paths can cross again in our lifetime, as you are a positive role model in my life and my family's life. Thank you for all that you have done, and continue to do.  I wish your book all the success it deserves as well. Thank you very much for your undivided time that weekend, and now."
