Miki - along with friends Penguin and Polar Bear - is back in this wintery tale of determination, friendship and hope. It's the three friends' birthday and they all make a special wish, but Penguin's wish to be the biggest penguin of all leads the friends into dangerous territory and a magical Antarctic journey.
The soft-focus illustrations are dreamlike and astonishly beautiful.
