Pipo is a little bear who loves climbing trees, playing in the mud and spending time with his three forest friends.
The only thing standing between him and growing up is a small blue potty he's not entirely sure about. Written by Meik Kimmel, this is the first book in the Pipo the Little Bear series, a German-language picture book about one of toddlerhood's most universal milestones, told with warmth and a bear who is clearly not impressed.
I was invited by Meik to bring his story to life, and I truly hope this is just the beginning of a long series together.
