| Summary: | Yuki is lost in a dark mood on her way home from school. In a flash of frustration, she tosses her house keys down an open manhole. When she climbs down to retrieve them, she discovers another world: Mudland. The Mud Princess, an enormous dripping thing made of mud and sticks, greets Yuki and shows her the wonders of her kingdom. Yuki's dark mood is at home here -- her sadness and anger fit right in. As they journey together, the Mud Princess becomes larger, absorbing the anger around her. Everything the princess touches becomes muddy, even Yuki. Yuki faces a choice-- to become a Mud Princess herself or to return to the world above ground and its expectations. A picture book for children that explores emotional experiences through a fantastical narrative. As Yuki encounters this environment, themes of anger, frustration, and emotional expression are represented through symbolic imagery. The narrative addresses decision-making, self-awareness, and the management of strong feelings. |
