About the author

Tove Jansson

879 books3,895 followers
Tove Jansson was born and died in Helsinki, Finland. As a Finnish citizen whose mother tongue was Swedish, she was part of the Swedish-speaking Finns minority. Thus, all her books were originally written in Swedish.

Although known first and foremost as an author, Tove Jansson considered her careers as author and painter to be of equal importance.

Tove Jansson wrote and illustrated her first Moomin book, The Moomins and the Great Flood (1945), during World War II. She said later that the war had depressed her, and she had wanted to write something naive and innocent. Besides the Moomin novels and short stories, Tove Jansson also wrote and illustrated four original and highly popular picture books.

Jansson's Moomin books have been translated into 33 languages.

I haven't read any of the others, but this was a sweet one about a friend going away and how to deal with that.

I've had this book since it was first published but have never used it with young readers because most American kids aren't familiar with the Moomins yet. Also, this book is only based on the Moomin stories of Tove Jannson, not written by her. This year, I decided to give it a go and see how it was received. It is starting to get cold and as everyone knows, Moomins hibernate for the winter. Before that happens, Moomintroll goes looking for his best friend Snufkin. Snufkin was getting ready to head south for the winter, since he didn't hibernate. The two friends say goodbye, but even though Snufkin reassured Moomintroll he would return the first warm day of spring, just as he did every year, Moomintroll was sad to see his friend go. Feeling dejected and alone, no one could convince Moomintroll of Snufkin's return. Would he miss Moomintroll as much as Moomintroll would miss Snufkin? Moomintroll is finally reassured when Moominpappa gives him a little parcel - a note and tiny sailboat to sail when together when he returns in spring. This is a nice story about friendship and about learning to express sadness. My young readers actually liked this book a lot, including with the way it was written and the illustrations. It opened up a really nice dialogue about missing people, mostly grandparents and friends who have moved away. There are a few more Moomin picture books based on Tove Jansson's original stories which my kids would like to read as well, so yes, you could say they were quite taken with the magic of Moominvalley and its inhabitants.

My kid is finally starting to love the Mumins and I couldn't be happier. This is the first book we read about Muminvalley and it made my kid love Snufkin a lot (and how cute is it that he is called Schnupferich in German)

„Златната есен си отива, но преди Мумините да заспят зимен сън, време е за едно малко приключение!” - Така започнахме ревюто на „Мумин и златното копче“, но… май послъгахме. Защото малките приключения от изд. „Timelines store” са не едно, а цели две и е време да ви разкажем и за второто от тях – „Мумин и първият сняг”. В тази книжка студът сковава Муминската долина, но един от нейните обитатели приема нещата особено тежко. А причината за неговата тъга е раздялата с най-добрият приятел...

Moomins! They look like adorable, cuddly white hippos who walk on two legs but according to their creator, Tove Jansson, they are trolls who live in Moominvalley with all sorts of unusual looking friends. In this installment, Moomintroll wakes to feel out of sorts and discovers that snow is on its way to the valley which means Snufkin has to leave until Spring and he and his family will be tucking in for hibernation. Moomin works through his mixed feelings and realizes that his best friend will return and that they both will be missing the other. After a bit of showtime fun and hot chocolate, he and his family tuck into bed for their long winter’s sleep.

Such sweet stories and endearing characters! Moomin and the Winter Snow is wonderful for simply the fun of it, but could also be used with young readers/listeners when doing units on winter, adaptations, friendship and more. Illustrations are engaging and full of opportunities for vocabulary development, font is large and easy to read.

Recommended for toddlers to grade 3. Moomin books are available in board book, picture books and as novels for older readers.

Päiväunien rauhoittumissatu noin 1-vuotiaalle. Ajattelin ensin, että lapsi ei varmaan jaksa kuunnella koko kirjaa kerralla, mutta lopulta kirja luettiin monta kertaa kannesta kanteen parin kuukauden aikana. Sympaattinen tarina Muumipeikosta, jonka paras ystävä Nuuskamuikkunen lähtee etelään ennen ensilunta. Muumipeikolla on ikävä ystäväänsä, mutta onneksi pieni kirje ja lahja lohduttavat. Vanhemmalle lapselle kirjasta on helppo nimetä erilaisia tunteita ja sen avulla voi käsitellä eroa ja kaipausta.

På svenska heter boken Det snöar i Mumindalen.

Hear me out. Lägg märke till regnbågsfärgerna på Mumins namn. Och det faktum att boken handlar om att Mumin saknar Snusmumriken jättemycket när han beger sig av för vintern. Han får också en ett brev från Snusmumriken och en present. Kan vi anta att det här är en hint till att Mumin är kär i Snusmumriken? Possibly? Maybe?

This book addresses one of the most important existential questions: will Snufkin miss me as much as I miss Snufkin and how can I know? Indeed. Note: my copy includes added sticky notes by the friend who gave it to me. Pee-hoo! If only I could hibernate in the summer.

Каква мила история! Детето много я хареса, говореше на следващия ден за книгата, сричаше и си упражняваше имената на героите, дори каза, че е сънувала Филифьонката как простира :)
