This is one of those books that you do not realize how great it is until you read it as an adult. It is a book about death, struggle, acceptance, and difference. At first Moomintroll is lonely but he learns about winter and learns to thrive.

And we should all be as fearless as Little My.

Lovely. Adorable.

A childhood favourite that I found just as sweet and poignant as when I first read it. This is my favourite of the Moomin books due to it's more melancholic tone and Jansson's lovely descriptions of the Winter landscape.
