This is snow, Moomintroll whispered to himself. Moomins always sleep through the winter – or they did until the year Moomintroll woke up and found he couldnt go back to sleep again. All the clocks had stopped, and there was nothing to eat and no one to talk to at home, so he went out – straight into the first snowdrift he had ever seen. The valley wasnt green anymore; it was white, silent, and very scary. But then Moomintroll spied some tracks in the snow and decided to follow them. Maybe he wasnt the only one awake in Moominvalley after all?
