Self-portrait
Sonia Persad
I seek to use my big voice to help authors assert their personalities.
I was born and bred in Trinidad, West Indies. That means:
I'm friendly!
I love food! A fed me is a happy me. Mmmmm food...
I pronounce my Ts.
I like talking to people and finding out what makes them Them. Come chat!
I specialize in 4-color Illustrated books. Specifically, I Art Direct and Design all manner of Kid’s Books; from board books, to Picture Books, to Middle Grade and Chapter Books. I’ve had the privilege to work at Penguin Random House for the past 10 years, where I started designing cookbooks at Clarkson Potter.
Check out my work! If you like, please touch base here - I'd love to hear from you. If you'd like to see a resume, that's here.
