“Marvelous mouse-sized mischief for all ages.” —Booklist (starred review)

From the creator of the acclaimed and beloved Pokko and the Drum comes an emotionally resonant, “richly imagined” (The Horn Book, starred review) picture book about trust, worry, and loyalty between a father and daughter.

Mina and her father live in a hollowed-out tree stump on the edge of a pond on the edge of a forest. Nothing ever bothers Mina, until one day, her father brings home a suspicious surprise from the woods.

Should Mina trust her father—or listen to her own instincts?

Mina by Matthew Forsythe is highly praised for its whimsical humour and exquisite illustrations, crafted with watercolour, gouache, and coloured pencil. This children's book tells the story of a mouse named Mina, who remains unfazed by her father's eccentric choices until he brings home a so-called "squirrel" that is clearly a cat. The narrative is celebrated for its dry wit and charming visual storytelling, which engages readers in a suspenseful yet humorous fantasy world filled with delightful details.
