Hi, I'm Yannick Atambona.
But you can call me Ian.

I'm a polyglot, Certified Interpreter, Translator, and educator who has traveled the world learning about cultures, people, and stories. I write under the pen name Ian Janik.

After experiencing discrimination firsthand during my travels, I knew I had to write a story for every child who ever felt different. That became The Berry Story — and the beginning of Berry City.

"Every child deserves to see a hero that looks like them — and to know that their differences are their greatest superpower."
