Tove Jansson (1914-2001) was a world-renowned Finland-Swedish author, artist and illustrator. She is best known for her stories about the Moomins, which have been translated from Swedish into many languages.<\/div>\n
We read “The Invisible Child”, alternating in English, Icelandic, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and Faroese. The Moomin family has many friends and acquaintances among the Moominvalley\u2019s strange creatures. In the story we will read aloud, we will meet Ninny, who has become invisible and gets help from the Moomin family to become visible again.<\/div>\n
