Musnet 4: The Tears of the Painter

“Beautifully painted (of course), this promises to be a charming tale of humour, art, and adventure, as the little mouse grows to find his meaning and place in the world.”―The Guardian

“A few days after reading Musnet, my eldest asked if I would get a canvas for him and if he could do some painting. . . . Musnet is a treasure and I cannot wait to read more.”―The Picture Book Review

In the stirring conclusion to Kickliy’s acclaimed Musnet series, snow and ice chill Monet’s garden, but even colder things await our mouse artist this winter. Mya, Musnet’s best friend, gets her own adventure. Chiby, the Japanese spider, falls into a tangle with a certain muscular rat. And will our vagabond mouse become the great painter he has always aspired to be? Drama, action, and adventure abound in the final volume of the Prix d’Angoulême nominated series.

Kickliy is a painter and cartoonist. His Musnet series was nominated for the Angoulême Prize.
