An awful creature with a terrible howl is loose in Mika’s house, eating up dust bunnies and even Mika’s socks! Join Mika on a charming journey of imagination and discovery in award-winning Polish creators Agata Loth-Ignaciuk and Berenika Kolomycka’s Mika and the Howler.
Meet Mika! Mika is a young explorer who faces familiar-yet-not-fully known objects and obstacles around her house. Today’s newest challenge? The “howler” that roams her living room and hallways sucking up dust bunnies and—even her socks! But the howler isn’t as dangerous as it appears, and young Mika is soon brave enough to face it. The first in a series of books for the youngest comics readers, enjoy the sweet, simple, and delightful Mika and the Howler.
“Observing little kids, especially my kids, and how they dealt with new challenges and fears was key to creating Mika’s enthusiastic and imaginative character,” said writer Agata Loth-Ignaciuk in a press release from Oni Press. “I hope Mika will surprise you with her inventiveness, initiative, and activity. She’s an explorer and defender, and she always tries to help her family and friends. Sometimes it ends up being quite a mess, but she does her best! I’m really looking forward to seeing how Mika will cope in each new environment and among new young readers. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for her.”
