Easy read about the lovely Moomins and the new Moominvalley series. The illustrations are simply amazing, just like in the series (I really love this remake). Only thing is, the only characters that are mentioned are the ones of the first season. I hope that we'll get a book with the characters of season 2, as well!

Kicking off my Moomin journey as I dive into this beloved Finnish children’s series. So adorable and also thought provoking. Excited to work my way through the books.
