“I got Mika & Lolo for my cousin as a Christmas present and he absolutely loved it. The characters are inspirational and contemporary. The pretence of the book is unique and just what we need! You can truly feel the passion the author put into the book. Would highly recommend.”

“My daughters and son (ages 12, 2 and 1) love this book. It’s nice to have a book that isn’t directed to one gender e.g. princesses or dragons (actually, the stereotype of that gender). It has raised issues for our older daughter to think about and it’s great practice for her Spanish too! I think Granda could do with reading it.”

— Nikki

“Great book by a credible defender of equality. It’s small, but it takes a lot of work and illusion behind, and it is shown. Children have to learn from childhood that crying, getting dirty, playing princesses or cars, blue and pink, have no gender, something that many older people still have internalized, and thanks to Mika and Lolo we all learn together. Highly recommended! I hope there is more!”
