“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”
Moomin! I enjoyed the first five books of course but the last four are especially sublime. I love children’s stories with an element of somberness, which Moominpappa at Sea and Moominvalley in November deliver in spades, to the point where I’ve heard some people question whether they can still be considered kids books at all… the answer to which is of course yes! Children’s literature that doesn’t make a child feel and think is the equivalent of junk food IMO, and I don’t think it’s any mistake that all the books/movies/comics I enjoyed as a child I can/do still enjoy, as an adult, today.
Also Snufkin. Who doesn’t love Snufkin?

But you don’t know how to properly reattach them—a doll does not repair itself. So you hug those brittle fragments to your chest until you simply cannot hug anymore. Until you’ve had to leave so many behind that you no longer remember what it is you’re missing .
