When Paul and I went to Sweden last month we picked up this book by the Swedish speaking Fin, Tove Jansson, a delightful and famous illustrator of the Moomin series. I am absolutely enchanted with her bright color choices and simple graphic lines. This book in particular, Vem Ska Trösta Knyttet? or Who Will Comfort Toffle? is a goody. I love her hand-drawn lettering, which is only available in the native Swedish.

What an awesome book. It looks vintage as it reminds me of the books my mother had when she was little

I love the Moomins, and by extension Tove Jansson. We have framed Moomin (and friends) illustrations, a Finnish Moomin calendar, and even Moomin hot pads from Estonia. Sigh. Get all the chapter books for your future babies! They are lovely!
Awesome illustrations
