The story

Eduardo spends his days in the forest gathering blueberries. One day he finds one that glows with a magical light, and as he carries it around it draws in forest creatures with surprising abilities.

Creating Eduardo was also a way of bringing someone very important to me into my design: he’s inspired by a member of my family.

He’s not happy just looking at what he finds: he needs to pick it up, study it and discover what makes it special.
