Poiko: Quests & StuffPaperback, 12 April 2022

**A new adorable anthropomorphic adventurer awaits, and his name is Poiko! Perfect for fans of Mouse Guard, Little Robot, and Hilda!

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN "AVERAGE" DAY FOR POIKO!

Have you ever had to deliver a care package to a dragon with allergies? Have you ever been waylaid by a school of space fish? That's just an average day for Poiko, the kingdom's most reliable courier. The world can be a big, scary place, but it can also be wondrous. Sad things can happen, but there are always good friends to turn to, or new friends to make. And no matter what, there is always, always someone who could use your help. Poiko learns all these lessons and more every time he brushes his tail, pulls on his hoodie, and steps out into a new adventure. The philosophical whimsicality of Calvin & Hobbes meets the fantasy-scapes of Adventure Time in this modern-day classic.

"In this sincere and exuberant fantasy adventure ... Fanciful, visually engrossing backdrops and the sprawling cast of characters bring to mind classic Sunday comic aesthetics." -- Publishers Weekly

#1 Weekly pick from SLJ's Good Comics for Kids!

"Poiko: Quests and Stuff will delight young readers and drop them into a world that's magical and interesting while reflecting something incredibly human in the way the characters interact with their community." - Eliza Viera/Gate Crashers
