Have you ever been faced with the overwhelming feeling of I DON’T WANT TO? Koko has. Koko doesn’t want to go home to go to sleep, and Koko doesn’t want to get up, either! But Bo, the key caretaker and adult in Koko's life, is patient. Bo knows that Koko will come home when bored, go to sleep when tired, and get up when hungry―as long as Koko is allowed to learn through experience and have the chance to figure things out. Koko & Bo is a familiar, smart, and surprising story about two people––one big and one small––quietly negotiating the relationship between freedom and trust to reach a better understanding of each other and the world around them. 

Depicted as fluid characters, Koko and Bo break down gender stereotypes, allowing readers to identify with either character while depicting the universal relationship between two people who love and trust each other.
