A charming story of friendship and magical wishes.

Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden have found a shiny pebble that might be a star. But they cannot decide what to wish for. As they ponder over what to wish for, they start to worry as the star’s shine begins to fade.

The Moomins are celebrating a major revival. These contemporary editions of the classic tales, in which Moomin goes on adventures with his friends and family in the winter, are a joy for all Moomin fans, as well as those just discovering this extraordinary world. Gently exploring the nature of friendship, these are picture books for all ages.

About the Author

Tove Jansson (1914–2001) was born in Helsinki into Finland’s Swedish-speaking minority. Her father was a sculptor and her mother a graphic designer and illustrator. Jansson’s most famous creation is Moomintroll, a hippopotamus-like character with a dreamy disposition who appears in Moomin, the long-running comic strip and series of books for children that have been translated throughout the world, inspiring films, several television series, an opera, and theme parks in Finland and Japan. Jansson also wrote eleven novels and short-story collections for adults, including The Summer Book, The True Deceiver, Fair Play, and The Woman Who Borrowed Memories (New York Review Books Classics). In 1994 she was awarded the Prize of the Swedish Academy. Jansson and her companion, the artist Tuulikki Pietilä, continued to live part time in a cottage on the remote outer edge of Pellinge until 1991.
