“A little brown bear cub named Mika who doesn’t want to hibernate after an owl tells him about the northern lights. He sneaks out when his parents are asleep in their den and asks the animals he meets how to find them. Neither the moose, the crane, the wolf, nor the wolverine can help him, but when he again encounters the owl, they look up together and see how “all kinds of different colours lit up the deep blue of the night.” Their return back to their cave is a cozy end to a truly lovely picture book.” - Starred Kirkus Review Mika, The Bear Who Didn’t Want To Sleep By Erik Kriek Sold to: UK/USA
