### About the Moomins
The Moomins, beloved for their charm and uniqueness, are the brilliant creations of revered Finnish illustrator and author Tove Jansson back in 1945. With a legacy as one of Finland’s most celebrated artists, Jansson’s Moomins first found life in a series of books and a novel, captivating hearts globally through comic strips too. Fans might recognize titles like “Finn Family Moomintroll” and “Comet in Moominland.” Tove’s niece, Sophia Jansson, beautifully encapsulates the essence of these tales, stating, “The Moomin stories are essentially about what matters most to everyone, anywhere—love, tolerance, respect, family, and belonging. These themes resonate regardless of your background, gender, race, religion, or sexuality.”
