I've read The Invisible Child before and I even remember the anime adaption of it. It's a sweet story with a lot of subtext and Moominmamma being as lovely and kind as ever.

The Fir Tree was a new one for me. It's a super cute story in which the Moomins are woken from their winter sleep to encounter Christmas for the first time. Nobody tells them what to do and what to expect though, which is not only amusing but also makes you rethink your own behavior during the Christmas season.

Jeg elsker mumitroldene. Det havde jeg faktisk glemt, men det gør jeg.

Jeg er ret træt og brugt for tiden, så da jeg fik valgmuligheden for at læse en børnebog med min ene bogklub, greb jeg gladeligt muligheden, for det virkede ukompliceret.

Jeg tog fejl.

Allerede i den første historie (det er en række noveller), vidste jeg at der ikke var noget ukompliceret ved denne bog. Jeg følte mig ramt og set på en utrolig menneskelig måde, og historien endte helt anderledes end jeg forventede. Det gjorde de alle. Den ene handlede om værdien i at blive vred. VRED! Jeg elsker det! Alle historierne var langt dybere end jeg havde forventet, og hvis al børnelitteratur er sådan, så skal jeg sgu til at læse mere af det.
