Bookroo's summary

Koko resists going home, sleeping, and waking up, testing the limits of freedom and trust. Bo, the patient caretaker, knows Koko will learn through experience. As they navigate their relationship, they challenge gender norms and explore universal themes of love and understanding. Will Koko find balance between independence and guidance?

From the publisher

He doesn’t want to go home, he doesn’t want to go to sleep, and he doesn’t want to get up either! But Bo is patient. He knows that Koko will come home when he is bored, will go to sleep when he is tired, and will get up when he is hungry—he just has to wait for Koko to figure it out for himself. Koko and Bo is 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.
