McKenna created the illustrations in the course of a workshop organised by Leah Umbagai, and Katie Breckon to support children and young people to learn about their identities within the traditional kinship system, represented by the two birds Wodoy (Ngarinyin, Wunambal) / Wodoya (Worrorra), the Spotted Nightjar, and Jun.gurn (Ngarinyin) / Junkurnja (Worrorra) / Jirrin.girn (Wunambal), the Owlet Nightjar. With Sally Treloyn, images of each stage of Junba performance were identified for use in the workshop. McKenna\’s illustrations are complemented by drawings by Ngarinyin elder Paddy Neowarra (deceased) created in 2002 to document skin-based body paint designs worn by dancers of Junba, and drawings by young Ngarinyin illustrator Liama Nulgit.
