Making a Friend Can Feel Like a Very Big Step
Toffle wants a friend. The trouble is, he is frightened by the world beyond his own small corner. When a message in a bottle arrives, someone else’s need gives him a reason to be brave.
Into a world of shadows and music
Swedish theatre, Dockteatern Tittut, brings Tove Jansson’s illustrated story to the stage with puppets, moving shadows, music, and movement. Toffle’s journey makes room for feelings that many children know well: being shy, feeling alone, and wanting to belong.
At its heart is a simple thought: sometimes reaching out to someone else helps us find our own courage.
