My First Moomin: Best Friends
Pickup available at The Shop
Usually ready in 24 hours
Snufkin has gone away for the winter, and Moomin is sad in that very particular, quiet way that only Tove Jansson really captures. But his friends gather round, and the loneliness lifts, just a little, until spring comes back. It is a very small book about a very large feeling, and it is just right.
We love it because:
- The story handles missing someone and feeling lonely with such gentleness that it works as a comfort book for children going through exactly that, without ever being heavy-handed about it
- The illustrations are warm and characterful: Moomin, Little My, Snorkmaiden and the whole valley gang, rendered in gorgeous colour for the youngest readers who are meeting them for the very first time
- A beautiful introduction to Moominvalley for babies and toddlers, long before they're ready for the chapter books
- The kind of board book that parents read with real pleasure, which always makes bedtime a little easier
What's in the box:
- Board book, 16 pages
- Full colour illustrations throughout
- Second in the My First Moomin read-aloud board book series
- Published by PRH Children's Books
Great for:
- Ages 1 and up

- Moomin-loving families introducing their children to Tove Jansson's world from the very beginning
