    And the winner is: Patrick Visser! Congrats, Patrick!

    * * * * *

    Freelance illustrator and designer Brenda Ponnay (a.k.a. Secret Agent Josephine) has launched a new series of children’s books all about ABC’s, Colors and Numbers. The new books focus on basic concepts for little ones, but also utilize text and design elements to engage older kids too. The green parrots have migrated to the south. The whimsy of “U is for Underwear,” alliteration in “A Red Rhinoceros wearing red rubber rain boots…” and  “9 super-secret spy cameras” make each book a treat to share with the whole family.

    The three books are available on Amazon — both a print version and a Kindle version. The Kindle books are less than 3 bucks and work on phones, tablets, and laptops.

    You can read more about Brenda on her blog, Secret Agent Josephine, or follow her on Twitter @secretagentjo.

    And the giveaway!:

    Brenda has offered to give one lucky IF reader an 8×10 print of the letter V from her alphabet book! Just leave a comment below and we’ll choose a winner on Friday, December 16th! (the print pictured above has the SAJ watermark on there which will not be on the actual print.) Comment to win!
