TWINS BOOK CLUB July 2023
FR
La première chose a savoir, c'est que personnellement, je suis très familière de l'univers des Moomins car je baigne dedans depuis très jeune. Je ne suis pas une experte pour autant; mais je les aime d'amour et j'ai énormément de respect et d'admiration pour Tove Jansson.
Ceci étant dit. Ce livre !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Je vais d'abord souligner la beauté des illustrations. Certaines sont "simples", mais tellement magnifiques et elles ont souvent un côté poétique à la fois. Bref, de quoi ravir les yeux.
Pour ce qui est de l'histoire, je n'avais jamais lu cette première histoire, alors j'étais super heureuse de pouvoir la partager avec Yosra. Quoi de mieux que de plonger dans un tel univers, tant aimé avec sa meilleure amie/jumelle ?!
C'est le livre idéal pour découvrir l'univers; de tester un peu. Même si c'est encore plus grand que "juste" cette histoire.
Ce sont des histoires parfaites pour presque tous les âges; alors vraiment, n'hésitez pas !! Les Moomins; c'est la vie.

The first thing to know is that personally, I'm very familiar with the world of Moomins because I have been immersed in it since a very young age. I'm not an expert though; but I love them and I have enormous respect and admiration for Tove Jansson.
That being said. This book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will first highlight the beauty of the illustrations. Some are “simple”, but so magnificent and they often have a poetic side at the same time. In short, something to delight the eyes.
As for the story, I had never read this first story, so I was super happy to be able to share it with Yosra. What could be better than diving into such a beloved universe with your best friend/twin ?!
It's the ideal book to discover the universe; to test a little. Even if it's even bigger than "just" this story.
These are perfect stories for almost all ages; so really, don't hesitate !! The Moomins; that's life.

I love the little world the Moomins live in, with flower girls and great waterous events. Dark forests and many characters met along the way.

as the first book, it's a bit rough around the edges, but still so tender and charming!

This speeds along (and is very short). It does feel a bit too light as there is a lot going on with next to no explanation or elaboration.
I grew up with the Moomin anime and absolutely adored it so this felt nostalgic and enjoyable partly because I'm projecting my memories of these characters onto their early iterations. Poor Sniff doesn't even have a name yet here!
The illustrations are gorgeous but the scale of things is all over the place which adds to the surrealism.
