«La família Mumin a l'hivern» is the illustrated album by Tove Jansson, published by La Galera in hardback (152 pages, in Catalan).
Winter in Moomin Valley: the whole family sleeps at home, but the little Moomin troll wakes up because of the moonlight and cannot fall back asleep. Going outside, he discovers the snow, the ice and the valley's inhabitants who spend the winter hidden. The world he thought he knew transforms and the protagonist experiences new things in a nature that is unfamiliar to him.
This is the sixth book in the Moomin series, known as Mumins or Mumintrollen, of which this copy is number 51 in the collection. With illustrations by the author and recommended for readers aged 8 and up.
