Bookroo's summary

An ordinary girl embarks on an extraordinary adventure when she meets Mudkin, a whimsical creature who crowns her queen of a mud kingdom. As they explore her newfound realm, the girl revels in the magic of imagination. But with the rain threatening to wash it all away, will her reign endure? Dive into a world where mud and dreams collide, and discover if the crown Mudkin bestows is truly everlasting.

From the publisher

“Rain’s gone! Time to play!” commands the queen. Well, she’s not really a queen–just an ordinary girl who has an extraordinary day. She meets Mudkin, a friendly creature who whips up a robe and crown for her. Away they go to meet Her Majesty’s subjects. Even if the kingdom lasts only until the next rain shower, the crown Mudkin gives her is forever. In his unmistakable style, Caldecott-winning artist Stephen Gammell creates an ode to the most potent of childhood mixtures: mud and imagination.
