Hugo & Val
Illustrated By Marshaun Zeigler-Dumas
Check out our Grandparents Guide on the following page.
We hope you enjoyed the debut of Hugo & Val in this issue of Destination. In the fall of 2018 we partnered with Pennsylvania College of Art & Design to create our front cover. Through that process we met a lot of talented young artists, including Marshaun Zeigler-Dumas, a talented graphic novelist. Marshaun helped us bring life to our superhero grandparents—a couple we’ve been dreaming about for years. They have the gift of experience and still want to change the world. Our hope is that your grandchildren will anxiously await each new copy of Destination as they follow Hugo & Val and their grandchildren on adventures. Studies tell us that intergenerational interaction offers incredible benefits for every generation. Hugo & Val demonstrate that for us and offer you an opportunity to engage with the children in your lives.
GRANDPARENTS GUIDE
Here are some questions for you to get the conversation started between you & your grandchildren: If you found out I was a superhero, what would you say? What do you think my superpower would be? If you had a superpower, what would it be? How would you use your superpower to help someone else? If you could travel in time, where would you go?
