Ninny is a character in Tove Jansson's book "The Invisible Child," published in 1962. Ninny's illustrations make their debut in the Moomin collection, adorning a mug, a bowl, and a plate.
Tove Jansson's short story "The Invisible Child" narrates the profound impact of care and consideration towards others. A visitor arrives at the Moomin family home—a little girl named Ninny, rendered invisible due to mistreatment. She trembles at the thought of speaking, playing, or even laughing. The sole sound she makes is the tinkle of the bell around her neck, which lets everyone know her whereabouts. The Moomins welcome her into their home, treating her with warmth and kindness. Thanks to the Moomins' attention, Ninny's confidence blossoms, and she gradually becomes visible. Soon, tiny feet are visible on the stairs, followed by thin legs... However, as days pass, her face remains unseen. The ever-curious Moomintroll endeavours to assist Ninny. He persistently encourages her whilst teaching her various games. Eventually, Ninny's face emerges, and she finds the courage to voice her emotions—whether in a fit of rage or a laugh so sonorous that it shakes the harbour. "The Invisible Child" reminds us of the importance of being seen and seeing others.
Characterised by Swedish-Finnish writer Tove Jansson, the Moomins are globally recognised figures. Each character is unique, with distinct interests and traits. Moominvalley is alive with fascinating events. Aside from the resident Moomins, creatures like Mymbles, Hemulens, and Fillyjonks populate the area. Through fairy tales, you might find reflections of yourself within these stories.
Moomins play a significant role in Finnish culture, celebrated globally through items like porcelain dishes and souvenirs.
