What is The Mud Family about?
<p>For the Anasazi, life depends on precious rainfall. But after weeks without rain, the land is drying up and the corn is dying. Soon Sosi's family will have to find a new place to live. Her mother and father are cross and tired as they pack; no one has time for Sosi.<br> So she runs away, down to the bank of the small pool, and makes a family of mud dolls that dry in the hot sun. Here there is no crying or arguing. The mud father tells his mud daughter, "You are my lark, my lizard. I will weave robes for you and never scold." Sosi makes the mud girl dance for rain.<br> And the rain does come, bringing Sosi back to the family that needs her most of all.</p> <p>A drought threatens to force Sosi's family to move from their canyon, unless she can bring rain with her dancing. </p>
