🌿 JoJo Jungle

ZuperTeam

Six students. One teacher. Twenty-one stories. Meet everyone in the JoJo Jungle classroom.

Monkey · Student

Miko

Notices what others miss. Usually mid-distraction. Somehow always right.

Short 1

Who Is Miko?

“If there is a beetle on the floor, Miko has already named it.”

Illustration 1

“Meet Miko Monkey. He is playful. He is naughty. He means absolutely no harm. He just finds everything more interesting than whatever is happening right now.”

Illustration 2

“If Ossie is trying to run, Miko is right in the way. If there is a beetle on the floor, Miko has already named it.”

Illustration 3

“If the teacher says the Earth is moving — Miko grabs his bench. Just in case. He speaks before he thinks. He acts before he plans. He apologises — and then does it again.”

Illustration 4

“But somehow, when Miko is around, nobody has a bad day. He’s one of the ZuperKidz. And JoJo Jungle has never been the same since.”

Short 2

I'm Working, Miko!

“‘You are impossible,’ she said. ‘I know,’ said Miko.”

Illustration 1

“Ruby had her notebook open. Pencils arranged. Notes neat. Completely ready. Miko sat down next to her. Ruby did not look up. She had learned that looking up only encouraged him.”

Illustration 2

“Then Miko leaned over — very slowly — and pulled her headband down over her eyes. ‘I’m working, Miko,’ she said. ‘I’m working too,’ said Miko. She pushed the headband back up. He looked at her. Completely innocent. Ten seconds later — he pulled it again.”

“Ruby laughed. She hugged him quickly, the way you hug someone you’re annoyed at and also very glad exists. ‘You are impossible,’ she said. ‘I know,’ said Miko.”

Short 3

We All Look the Same

“‘My bad. I forgot.'”

Illustration 1

“It was Miko’s idea to go on the trek. This was the first sign. He led confidently. No map. Lots of energy.”

Illustration 2

“Then they reached a stream. ‘From here — we travel on the trees.’ Silence. Ossie looked at her legs. Ruby folded her arms. Elton said, calmly — ‘Miko thinks we are all the same species. Funny.'”

Illustration 3

“Miko looked at Elton. Then Ossie. Then everyone. ‘My bad. I forgot.'”

Illustration 4

“They leaned over the stream. Six reflections stared back. Miko tilted his head. ‘When you look this close — we seem different.’ Then they all laughed.”

Ostrich · Student

Ossie

Fast legs. Faster mind. Both going in different directions. She always shows up.

Short 1

Who Is Ossie?

“‘I forgot,’ she said. ‘But I really wanted to answer.'”

Illustration 1

“This is Ossie Ostrich. One day, Cappy asked the class a question. Ossie’s hand shot up immediately. Cappy nodded at her.”

“Ossie froze. ‘I forgot,’ she said. ‘But I really wanted to answer.'”

Illustration 3

“She once volunteered to get twigs for a nest repair. She was back in four seconds. She tripped. Twigs flew everywhere. She lay flat on the ground, staring at the sky. ‘I’ll go again,’ she said.”

Illustration 4

“Fast legs. Faster mind. Both going in different directions. She’s Ossie. One of the ZuperKidz. And somehow — she always shows up.”
