There’s a personal project for Marc Bernardin that’s been percolating beneath the surface for more than 15 years, and it's all about his daughter.
He wanted a book that could similarly reach all audiences. Comparing it to Bugs Bunny cartoons, he wanted something where kids could understand the action, but where there’s a higher level for the parents enjoying the same content.
When crafting the story, he decided to center it on a nine-year-old girl. It’s the age where someone can have an adult conversation, yet still be a kid, according to Bernardin. The story is illustrated in dynamic fashion by artist Ariela Kristantina, with colors by Bryan Valenza. Bernardin found Kristantina online, originally thinking her style would work for another book that he was working on, but the timing didn’t work out.
“She just sunk her teeth into it, because she really wanted to do fantasy, she really wanted to do a quest book, she really responded to the locales that we were doing,” Bernardin said. “What do you want to draw, if you’re an artist? Do you want to draw lava monsters? … If you like helicopters and machine guns, then you’re not going to be great for this book.”
