Miffy was "born" in 1955. While on holiday in Egmond Aan Zee, Dick Bruna would tell his eldest son, Sierk, bedtime stories about a little, white bunny, who scampered around the garden of their holiday home. This bunny became the inspiration for Miffy. Later, when Dick began sketching Miffy, he decided he would prefer to draw the bunny in a little dress, rather than a pair of trousers, and so Miffy became a little girl bunny. In the early years, Miffy looked a bit like a fluffy toy with floppy ears, but from 1963 onwards, when the books were first published in square format, she became the Miffy we know today, gazing confidently at the reader with her little, black eyes. She has two pointy ears and little chubby cheeks. In "miffy’s dream" (1979) and all subsequent stories, her ears and face are slightly rounder and more balanced. After that, her body became somewhat rounder and softer. After "miffy in the tent" (1995), her appearance remained much the same until 2001, when the proportions of her head and body changed slightly in "miffy the ghost", making her look more like a toddler. And after a new baby arrived in "miffy and the new baby" (2003), she became a big sister and looked like a real little girl bunny. Miffy Night Light is a 5.13-inch high night light imaging the lovely character “Nijntje”, designed by the Dutch artist Dick Bruna in 1955. The Miffy Night Light has a built-in photodetector, the light switches on when dark. The Miffy night lamp has a convenient on/off switch and a rated life of 30,000 Hours. Miffy comes in three colours, orange, yellow, and blue. It is the perfect way to illuminate a kid’s bedroom.
