I am currently obsessed with this book.
Luckily for me, India is too, and we read it together, over and over.
Now I want to read everything by Tove Jansson.
Have you read the Moomin books?
I'm a wife and mother of three girls, trying to find a craft to call my own.
Never HAVE known about them!

We ADORE the Moomins, and we'd never had known about them if not for you, Alexis! Thanks!

Alexis, thanks for the recommendation. I bought this book after I saw it here and now my boys are obsessed. And I loooove to read it to them. It's so sweet and poetic!

I have read them over and over, first as a kid, then to my own children and now I read them again - for me! I love Tove Jansson! Although she is from Finland she has always been an important author for swedish children. I am not really sure what I love the most - her drawings or the stories. Probably both!
Read them, you will love them!

I remember a friend of mine loving the Moomin books, but for whatever reason I didn't read them. Just saw them at the library the other day and wondered if Ryan would enjoy them. Let me know what you think if you read them!
