Origin and Development
In 1999, Maya Bar Mocha-Gozali created a children's comic series along with Noga Algom called The Adventures of Liza Jones, The comic gained national attention for its teaching of friendship and Bar Mocha-Gozali soon signed a deal with Gozali Publishing to release collections of the comic. The first collection, Liza's my Name.

In 2002, Bar Mocha-Gozali was approached by Jeff Rosen to produce a television series adapted from the comic. Rosen had noticed that one of his grand-nephews had outgrown Noah and felt there was no educational kids program that could appeal to him or other kids of his age range, and thought Morkel's comic would work great as a TV series. Rosen and Bar Mocha-Gozali produced a pilot and pitched the series to Nickelodeon in Spring 2003 and animated by DKP Effects. the Nickelodeon producer thought the show could have appeal since the titular character, Liza, "wasn't as divisive as Blue and wasn't as neurotic as Dora".

The pilot episode was later screened in MIPCOM 2003 in Cannes, France
