This book is the second in a series that features animals from Pokko’s band in \u003ci\u003ePokko and the Drum\u003c\/i\u003e (Mina’s father is the xylophone player in \u003ci\u003ePokko\u003c\/i\u003e!), but the books don’t need to be read in any particular order. \u003ci\u003eMina\u003c\/i\u003e is filled with mysteries and ambiguities small and large, and it’s this sense of mystery that forms the book's very truth. Forsythe says it best, in an interview with Publishers Weekly: “…we all move through life not understanding things around us. Learning how to live is learning how to be at ease with that idea, that we don’t know, and that’s OK. We’re all always kind of floating in that uncertainty. There’s a magic and a mystery to understanding that.” - IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the creator of the acclaimed and beloved \u003ci\u003ePokko and the Drum\u003c\/i\u003e comes an emotionally resonant picture book about trust, worry, and loyalty between a father and daughter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMina and her father live in a hollowed-out tree stump on the edge of a pond on the edge of a forest.
