Born and raised in Wisconsin, Breena moved to Portland, Oregon in the late ‘aughts to chase her dream of writing and illustrating graphic novels. Her first self-published book Picket Line was funded by a Xeric Grant in 2011. In 2016 she self-published a collection of memoir comics called Hey Baby, which is the story of her pregnancy and birth of her first child. In 2017 she won the “Get Published by Graphix” contest, and her debut middle grade graphic novel Trespassers was released on May 5, 2020 on Scholastic/Graphix! She is currently working on her next graphic novel Wildfire (scheduled for publication in 2023 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.)Breena Bard currently lives in Portland with her husband Zech, their two kids, and their kitty cat Charles Bullock. When she’s not writing or drawing, Breena enjoys eating pizza, watching movies, playing the drums, and exploring outdoors with her kids.
Trespassers: Gabby Woods loves a mystery, but is breaking into an abandoned lake house going too far to uncover the truth?
"Bard's illustrations are bright and cheerful, reminiscent of Raina Telgemeier's, and will leave readers feeling as if they are exploring the lake house's environs alongside the characters. A solid mystery for middle-grade comics collections." -- Booklist
