The Moomins are the foremost Finnish family, famous around the world for their carefree and loving nature. They gained fame from the comic strips of Tove Jansson in the 1940's but the 1990's animation brought them worldwide fame. The Moomins have joined with Oxfam to help women and girls around the world fight inequality and escape poverty for good. To do this they have released a book containing two short stories from Tales of Moominvalley from 1962, called The Invisible Girl and The Fir Tree.
The Invisible Child is about a little girl who turns invisible after being badly treated by the woman supposedly caring for her. She is given a place to stay at the Moominhouse and, when shown warmth, kindness and respect by the Moomin family, she gradually reappears and regains her place in the world - a right that every woman and girl should have.
The book is £5, of which at least £4 will go towards the various projects around the world.
