"It is autumn in Moomin Valley, for how else can spring come back again?"
I find this a comforting thought in uncertain times ?

Just had a lovely wander round the amazing five floored Waterstones in Brighton.... I saw this table in the kids department and thought of you @arlenefinnigan 💕
CAN WE ALL PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE TOM MORELLO'S MOOMIN ANTIFA T SHIRT
From the Moomin shop in Camden on Facebook:
Today is the International Day of Tolerance! In Moominvalley everyone is welcome, a message Tove Jansson always was very clear about. Let us create a more tolerant and accepting world together!
(Hi @Tove_Reads xxx)
This is Snork on the landing stage as illustrated in the book. My son was so taken with the replica of this at the Tove Jansson park in the Akebono Children's Forest in Japan 😍 they have the moomin house too! So delightful. I read this book after visiting and was excited to find mention of the different structures we'd seen. #babytravels #Japan
My first Moomin book but maybe not the best choice as it's the 3rd 😂 i only roughly know the characters from picture books & cartoons so took awhile to catch on. Very quirky! There's a good amount of bickering and cheating that I don't really love for a young children's book, but the motley family and hefty whimsy still make it a winner. Photo from our trip to Akebono Children's Forest with Moomin buildings 😍 #mommyreads #babytravels
Thanks @Tove_Reads for my fun #sockswap package! I loved Finn Family Moomintroll as a child! And can‘t wait to try out the tea, although I may keep it since the wrapping is so cute! The socks are adorable!

I'm proper shoehorning these Moomin references in aren't I.

Daughter and I had some shopping to do in town yesterday. We decided to stop off in Waterstones to soothe our frayed nerves. I promised not to buy any new books... but I didn't say anything about not buying a Moomintroll, so this little one came home with us!
‘It‘s all right now, my dear,‘ said Moominmamma. ‘You see, I shall always know you whatever happens.‘

Yesterday little Snork, my grey guinea pig, passed away... Sleep tight little buddy 💙
It's never easy saying goodbye to a pet, even a little piggy 😢
Posting in honour of Tove Jansson's birthday.
My daughter thinks she has outgrown the Moomins so these are all mine now, too.
Summer is the perfect chance to spend time with the Moomins and their friends. Raspberry juice and adventures abound, especially when the Hobgoblin's hat is nearby. Takes you back to glorious summer days as a child when you got to make-believe and everything came just right by bedtime. Best enjoyed with some pancakes and jam!

Yes, Moomins again. 💙

Fab afternoon at the Adventures in Moominland exhibition with my mum. Fascinating hearing about the influences that Jansson built into it and I got a Little My ❤
The #moomintroll series are among some of my favorite children's books, so I'm featuring one with an amazing cover for #riotgrams #11. You totally want to know what is up with the creepy dude with the red eyes 🎩 don't ya?

Although I didn't read it until I was in my 30s. @bookriot
There is a magical store here that sells only moomintroll stuff !!!!!!! I was bedazzled. I adore all things Moomintroll. Favourite childhood read❤❤
This is so delightfully weird so far. Thanks to my awesome colleague at the library for lending it to me!
P.s. Please excuse my rottn' english you see moomins go to school only as long as it amuses them.
One of my Childhood favorites. I love the Moomintrolls❤️ who, despite being small and shy have amazing adventures.
Fun Friday photo. Some of my happiest book memories from childhood were reading about Moomintroll & all of his shenanigans! I loved this series & read them over and over.
Delightful & sprightly❤️❤️❤️
