From award-winning creators Agata Loth-Ignaciuk & Berenika Kolomycka (Mika and the Gurgler & Mika and the Howler), join Mika as she learns how to take care of others in a sweet, simple, delightful story for young readers.

Meet Mika! Mika is a young explorer who faces familiar-yet-not-fully-known objects and obstacles around her house. Today’s newest adventure? Meeting her new friend, Chiller, who hides inside her kitchen, occasionally escaping when you open its door. On a very hot day, Mika tries to let Chiller out to cool down the house. But when Chiller starts to cry, Mika will need to find a way to cheer up her friend.
