Penny and Tubs

Marcie May and Vonnie Zerhusen created the loveable characters Penny and Tubs. Inspired by Marcie’s granddaughter, Sophia, and her large cat, Rusty, Penny and Tubs came to life through the book and music, The Adventures of Penny and Tubs: The City on the Sea.

For 20 years, Marcie wrote music for an eight-time Emmy award winning daytime television show before she decided to change career paths. The idea for the colorful city on the sea came to her in a dream, and after receiving encouragement from family and friends, the characters and song quickly followed. Marcie joined forces with Vonnie, a special education teacher, to co-write the book. Vonnie brought her educational expertise to the writing process and also lends her talents to the character of Mrs. Z.
