A Mouse Called Miika (2021) gives a supporting character from Matt Haig’s Christmas series his own spotlight. Miika is a small, frequently hungry mouse who lives in a house in the Finnish forest near Father Christmas. The picture book is illustrated with a cosy, wintery style and aimed at young children, though it works as a read-aloud for the whole family.

The book shares the gentle, slightly absurdist humour of Haig’s other children’s work. Miika’s defining characteristic in the Christmas novels is his enormous appetite and his tendency to complain, and this story plays those qualities for laughs while giving him a genuine adventure to go on.
