Valentina has a unique pathway into the Moomins. She experienced just one story: The Moomins and the Great Flood, as an audiobook as a child.

Our guest Ali Baker is a researcher in children's literature with a particular interest in children's voice and children's rights, so it's no surprise she chose to come on and talk to us about The Invisible Child!
Ali makes a strong case for Bjork as a Spirit of Little My and reminisces about find…
This week we're reading one of Tove's most famous short stories: The Invisible Child. It's a pretty bright and funny story with very dark themes. We both like it, but it doesn't quite live up to the hype, for us.
