A Year in the Moominhouse: A Carousel Book of the Seasons
Step inside the Moominhouse and journey through the changing seasons in Moominvalley.
This beautifully crafted carousel book unfolds into immersive 3D scenes, revealing the iconic blue Moominhouse through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Filled with charming details, beloved characters, and layered illustrations, it invites children to explore the rhythms of nature through storytelling and discovery.
Based on Tove Jansson’s timeless Moomin world and illustrated by Filippa Widlund, each season brings new treasures to notice — flowers blooming in spring, berry picking in summer, cosy autumn gatherings, and quiet winter hibernation.
Designed to unfold and stand as a sculptural display piece, this is both a storybook and an object to treasure.
Curator’s Note
Chosen for its magical sense of atmosphere and extraordinary design — a book that feels less like reading and more like stepping into another world.
Beautiful enough to display, yet filled with gentle storytelling children will return to throughout the year.
