Quick Summary

Miffy is a beloved children's character created by Dutch illustrator and writer Dick Bruna. First appearing in 1955 as Nijntje, Miffy is a simply drawn white bunny with black outlines, two dots for eyes, and an X for a mouth. Her subtle expressions convey her emotions as she experiences relatable adventures.1

Each Miffy book features 12 pages with illustrations on the right and a four-line rhyming couplet on the left. Bruna created the illustrations first, then added the text. The Miffy books have been translated into over 50 languages and have inspired a television show and a movie. The character's simple design and engaging stories have made her a global icon for young children.1
