Mini Mia and Her Darling Uncle

(3) K-3 Translated by Elisabeth Kallick Dyssegaard. Mini Mia (nicknamed after the soccer star) loves spending time with her unconventional uncle, but when his boyfriend Fergus shows up, Mia is jealous: "He looks boring. And his pants are ugly." Grudging acceptance comes (in an abrupt ending) when Mia discovers that Fergus also enjoys soccer. Her frustration, depicted in bright, angular watercolor and ink illustrations, is realistically childlike.
