Miffy was first created on June 21, 1955, by Dick Bruna, the famed Dutch artist, to entertain his son on a rainy seaside holiday in Holland. Bruna then made Miffy the main character in a series of picture books, which earned critical acclaim and sold all over the world. Miffy has since become a globally beloved character, known for her innocence, optimism, and whimsy. Over the past 70 years, she has captured the hearts of people of all ages. Check out more here!
