Very small, very feisty, she looks forward to disasters and embarrassments with relish. Little My emerged in the last book, Moominsummer Madness, as a favourite character. She cuts holes in a tea cosy and borrows a Moomin tea tray to go tobogganing. Little My is woken by a brainless squirrel nipping at her sleeping bag, gets up and quickly adapts to the new conditions. Moomintroll meets Too-tickey staring into a snow fire.When they serve dinner it looks like the plates and bowls are floating. He meets Too-tickey, a plump practical person in a red-and-white striped jumper, who lives in the Moomins’ bathing house during the winter, with a suite of shrews who are so shy and retiring they have become completely invisible. Thus he is condemned to go exploring the mysterious and rather scary, silent, snow-covered world of winter, beginning with the mysterious pair of eyes under the cold sink in the kitchen. He tugs at Moominmamma, but she is dead to the world. A stray moonbeam wakens Moomintroll and he can’t get back to sleep. Moomins hibernate from November to April, but not this winter.
