Moominpappa at Sea (Paperback)

Moominpappa is restless and searching for a renewed sense of purpose, so he moves the entire Moomin family to a remote island far out at sea. Their new home is an abandoned lighthouse surrounded by rough waters, rocky shores and an unfamiliar landscape. While Moominpappa attempts to understand the island and restore the lighthouse, Moominmamma tries to recreate the comfort of home, and Moomintroll begins exploring life with greater independence. Thoughtful and atmospheric, this story explores family relationships, loneliness, change and the challenge of finding one’s place in the world.
