The Easter Egg Hunt

Nine-year-old Miko has the important job of delivering a box of precious decorated Easter eggs to the market — without breaking any. But when Miko misplaces the whole box along the way, he’s desperate to get it back. As he dashes across town to find it, his imagination transforms him from a boy to a prince to a spy to a detective. But will his imagination help him find the eggs?

The Tusinski Trio

Miko loves playing the accordion, and he dreams of one day being on stage in front of thousands of people. He offers to help his instructor’s band get ready for the big folk music festival in town by letting them practice in his basement. Unfortunately, he forgot to ask his parents first. Will Miko’s mother get through two weeks of folk music in her basement? And how long will Miko really have to wait for his dream to come true?

Birthday Luck

It’s Miko’s mom’s birthday, and Miko wants everything to be great. But before they leave for Warsaw for an amazing day of sailing and surprises, Miko has some bad luck. Will it ruin all the surprise plans they’ve made, or is Miko’s bad luck just in his imagination?

The Moose and the Mushrooms

Miko loves to pick mushrooms, and this year he’s determined to pick more than ever when their family goes out to the woods for their day of foraging. But Miko’s attempt at finding the best spot for picking winning mushrooms gets him stuck in some bad conditions. It also puts Miko in contact with one of the forest’s more unique animals.
