GRANNY GRACE THE CARING CLOWN IS FULL OF SURPRISES!     Kids just love Granny Grace.  Her happy clown smile, her bright pink, blue and yellow outfit make her easy to love. What will she pull out of her purse?  Granny Grace begins her shows by opening her brightly colored purse.  What she pulls out of that purse and how she pulls it out brings the giggles out of kids, preschool teachers, librarians, moms and dads.  It might be a pretty flower, or a growing tree or silly eye glasses or even a magic trick!  Whatever it is, it will tickle your funny bone!  GRANNY GRACE'S SISTER, SOPHIE, LOVES TO DO SILLY SCIENCE. SHE ENTERTAINS GRADESCHOOL AGE KIDS WITH STATIC ELECTRICITY, A FANTASTIC OPPTICAL ILLUSION THAT MAKES YOUR HEAD GET BIG, A BUBBLE YOU CAN BOUNCE AND LOTS MORE.       HI! I'M SOPHIE!

"Penny brings smiles and giggles from both the children she entertains as well as the people she is involved with at networking events! She has created a happy, likable persona as "Granny Grace" that children find non-threatening and very approachable. Penny has also had the foresight to create a popular CD of her performance, and I'm sure she will achieve much success!" Kadie O'Connor MyReferralDirectory.com

"I have worked alongside Penny for two years as she interacted and performed for children ages 3-11 at an AWANA club. Penny led the storytime for the younger children and has performed as a Granny Clown for all the children. What I find as her strength is her creativity in presenting important truths in a fun and humorous way, making the children laugh and capturing their interest. Penny's ability to connect everyday children's entertainment (illusions, acts) with God's lessons is one-of-a-kind. There are many children's entertainment performances, but teaching such life-long lessons simultaneously is what makes Granny Grace unique."  Patiricia Lin Senior Account Executive at Procter & Gamble

 "Penny does a wonderful job of drawing the audience into the spirit of Granny Grace's accepting, gracious, and childlike world. I really enjoy her style, because I respect that she respects children; there is never a condescending attitude in her delivery. She gets right to a child's level without baby-talk or nonsense like that. She's obviously been influenced by Fred Rogers, in my opinion. I observe that she really cares quite a lot that children are valued and cherished unconditionally. I'd be happy to have her as my granny!"  Dom DeBellis President & CEO, DeBellis Communications
