emberology 's review for:

Ninni, surkea noita by Orvokki Annala
3.0

Our stormy and bleak weather made me want to dive under a fuzzy blanket and into a nostalgia cloud. Ninni is a witch who feels insignificant, insecure, and untalented. Other witches make fun at her, but then she gets an opportunity for an adventure. In the end, what does it really mean to be the best witch of them all?

My late grandmother had this book. I read it so many times I've lost count and bought my own copy years later. I love having old favorites in my shelf, because it feels comforting to know that they're there, always waiting for you no matter how much time goes by. So, this isn't really a review. It's more like a celebration of an old friend. Not a perfect old friend, but one that always welcomes me with open arms into a forest of ferns, rainbows, and cats.
