Today is Moomins Day. Happy Moomins Day to all. It also sees the launch of  a special Moomin Mug which will is only available for 24 hours. Moomin Day is celebrated every year on 9 August which is the birthday of M0omin creator Tove Jansson.

This years mug shows ‘ A warm moment between mother and son ‘

Drawn in 1955, the illustration on the mug was first published in a London newspaper. Moomintroll and Moominmamma have hiked to the highest point on an island close to Moominvalley to view the beautiful sunset. Moomintroll snuggles up to Moominmamma’s side and pushes his nose onto her silky snout. It’s very quiet and they are alone – it feels good.
