Production notes
Punky is a happy little girl who loves music, dancing and hugs! She loves playing with her big brother Con and jumping around with her dog, Rufus. She enjoys helping around the house with Mum and trying to make her grandmother Cranky just a little less cranky. As a child with Down syndrome, Punky lives in the moment. If something isn't right, if someone has a problem, Punky will set out to fix it. To Punky, the solution is always simple.
This is the world's first animated TV series in which the lead character has Down Syndrome. The character of Punky is voiced by Aimee Richardson, who herself has Down syndrome.
