My pleasure. :)

I’m Finnish on my mother’s side and have known about the Moomins but I’ve never read the books. I don’t know why, because I have a large collection of children’s books, but after reading this delightful piece I’m going to have to fix that. Thank you both so much!

What a great description of a magnificent mama!

"Moominmamma is magnificent. She is both kind and honest, helpful and encouraging, and she welcomes all comers, but she also pleases herself."

Something to strive for <3

I just reserved some Moomin books (and Tove’s The Summer Book) from the library! I’m excited to get into this!
