Tove Jansson was a Swedish-speaking Finnish writer and artist. The Moomins began as books and drawings a child can still open, and the islands of her summers are in the pictures too. She painted and wrote for adults as well. She died in 2001. A gallery of her own lines is the natural page.

The walk home
This is a sample story, so the page can show a longer memory. A daughter would write the walk home, the song in the kitchen, and the sentence that is still repeated.
