Poenica the Purple-Dyer
Pisoverse
vol. 6
by Lance Piantaggini
Illustrated by Lauren Aczon, Chloe Deeley
Poenica is an immigrant from Tyre, the Phoenician city known for its purple. She’s an extraordinary purple-dyer who wants to become a tightrope walker!
In this tale, her shop is visited by different Romans looking to get togas purpled, as well as an honored Vestal in need of a new trim on her sacred veil. Some requests are realistic—others ridiculous.
Is life all work and no play? Can Poenica find the time to tightrope walk?
Also available as an ebook at Apple Books and Kobo.
