After spending twenty years in the graphic design business, Ponnay found herself illustrating simple concepts for her daughter. Those concepts turned out to be so helpful that she started making them into books for other parents to use with their children. Ponnay figured that if a picture is worth a thousand words, then maybe a children’s book is worth more than ten thousand nagging pleas.
Ponnay lives in Southern California with her daughter, Bug. (Not her real name.)
Ponnay’s first book, Secret Agent Josephine’s ABC’s was based on the popular flashcards she created for her daughter with the help of her community of blog commenters. Ponnay illustrated a letter a week and asked her readers for suggestions and commentary on each one. The final completed project was a well-received labor of love. The next natural step for the alphabet cards was to put them into a book that parents could read to their children or flip through easily on their phones.
Secret Agent Josephine’s Colors
is a brightly illustrated book about color using alliteration on each page. From silly silver salamanders singing in the sea to wombats waving at wasps, Ponnay has captured the joy of childhood with funny, full-page illustrations.
In Secret Agent Josephine’s Numbers
, Secret Agent Josephine reveals the contents of her stealthy, super-expanding spy bag as kids count to ten with spy glasses, micro-cameras, and more super-secret spy gear. Little ones will love the bright colors and big numbers, and older children (and their parents) will delight in the detailed descriptions of the spy paraphernalia.
Time to Get Ready, Bunny!

Time for Bed, Bunny!
is about a bunny getting ready for bed. Of course Bunny doesn’t want to go to bed so he thinks of everything under the sun to do besides settle down an go to sleep.
Time to Eat, Bunny!

Follow Bunny as he cleans up, helps his mother with the table and finally has to finish those last two bites. Kids are sure to love Bunny and all his silly facial expressions as he goes about the same things they do every day!
