I think many of us had a special soft toy that we cherished growing up. Mine was a pink rabbit, super fluffy and with the cutest face - looking back, it's an awfully sweet design. It was with me for years, and I was so sad when my mom finally threw it away because it became so raggedy!

I also loved The Moomins as a kid, and re-reading the books now brings me so much joy - they're quirkily illustrated and the stories are just whimsically charming. You're right; some books and their magic definitely stand the test of time
