* ALA Amelia Bloomer Project List
Caldecott 수상도서인 "Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type"의 작가이자 뉴욕타임즈 #1 베스트셀러 작가인 도린 크로닌이 글을 쓰고, 역시 Caldecott 수상도서인 "The Gardener"와 "One Cool Friend"를 비롯해서 다수의 베스트셀러 그림책 Illustrator인 데이비드 스몰이 그림을 그린 명작 그림책입니다.
멋지고 화려한 유리로 만든 왕국에 블룸이라는 이름의 요정이 살았습니다. 블룸은 모래를 유리로, 잡초를 꽃으로 변화시키는 등 유리왕국에 도움을 주는 마법을 부릴 수 있었습니다만, 블룸이 지나간 곳에는 더러운 진흙 발자국을 남기는 단점이 있었습니다.
유리왕국이 점차 번성해감에 따라, 사람들은 블룸이 그들을 위해 베푼 좋은 마법은 잊어버리고 블룸이 남기는 더러운 발자국만을 문제 삼고는 그녀를 깊은 숲속으로 쫓아냈습니다.
세월이 흐르자 유리로 만든 성은 곳곳에 균열이 발생하기 시작하고, 사람들은 테이프와 접착제를 이용해서 균열이 생긴 곳을 보수하면서 근근이 버텼습니다만, 한계에 부딪히자 왕과 왕비는 예전에 마법을 부리던 블룸을 다시 불러오기로 했습니다.
왕과 왕비가 깊은 숲속에 가서 블룸을 만났을 때, 유리성을 보수할 수 있는 마법을 보여달라고 하자, 블룸은 더러운 진흙 한 통을 가져왔습니다. 화가 난 왕과 왕비는 성으로 돌아 갔지요.
왕과 왕비는 자신이 신분이 높아서 블룸이 제대로 마법을 보여주지 못했다고 생각하고는, 성에서 제일 보잘 것 없는 일을 하는 하녀인 제네비브를 숲속으로 보냈습니다.
제네비브가 숲에서 블룸을 만났을 때, 유리성을 보수할 수 있는 마법을 보여달라고 하자 이번에도 블룸은 진흙 한 통을 가져왔지요. 그리고는 진흙에 다양한 재료를 섞어서 벽돌을 만드는 법을 가르쳐 줬습니다. 그리고 제네비브와 블룸은 힘을 합쳐 숲 속에 멋진 벽돌집을 지었습니다.
유리성으로 돌아온 제네비브는 비록 진흙 투성이의 누추한 모습이었습니다만, 허물어가는 유리성을 때려 부수고 모든 사람들과 힘을 합쳐 벽돌을 쌓아올려 튼튼하고 멋진 성을 만들었습니다...

Book Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Doreen Cronin and Caldecott Medal - winning illustrator David Small comes a picture book about how an extraordinary “ordinary” girl can save a kingdom with the help of a mud fairy.
A glass kingdom is no place for a Mud Fairy. Bloom and her mud fairy magic might be able to turn weeds into flowers and spin sand into glass, but the people of the kingdom ceaselessly complain about the trails of dirt and puddles of mud that seem to follow her every step, and finally they cast her out.
But when the glass castle begins to crack, then cracks some more, the King and Queen in a panic search for the long-banished fairy, but they can’t find Bloom anywhere. Desperate to save their home, they send their meekest, most ordinary subject, a girl named Genevievewhose sole task until now has been to polish the Queen’s crystal sugar spoon--to coax any worthy fairy to come and save the kingdom. Genevieve finds Bloom exactly where the king and queen failed to see her, and Bloom knows exactly how to save the kingdom. But it will take the two girls working together, along with a mighty dollop of self-confidence--and some very messy hands--to accomplish the extraordinary.
Kirkus Reviews
Cronin and Smallcombine talents in this fable for modern times: people who live in fragilekingdoms may need to get their hands dirty rebuilding. Bloom the mud fairylives in a glass kingdom where she turns weeds into blossoms and sand intoglass; she also leaves mud and cracks in the glass in her wake. As the kingdomgrows and gleams, folks protest Bloom's mess. She takes to the forest, butwithout her, the kingdom deteriorates. When the royals seek Bloom's magic tosave them, they are outraged when the dirty creature places a bucket of mud attheir feet. So they send tiny, ordinary Genevieve to talk to Bloom. AlthoughGenevieve has heretofore preserved her delicate hands for the frivolous task ofwashing the queen's sugar spoon, with Bloom's coaching she digs her hands intothe mud to make...bricks! The text is set in different typefaces and fonts tohelp the narrative along, while Small uses watercolor washes in cool blues andwarm greens and browns to indicate changing tones. Genevieve takes hernew-learned "magic" back to the kingdom to rebuild, and the residentsrejoice. All the characters, from royals to fairy, are white. The tale isenchanting but somewhat opaque, so metaphorical that children may needsignificant help from adults to understand it. If youngsters scratch theirheads, take them to the yard or community garden to plant and make mud pies.
Publishers Weekly *Starred Review*
This smart, subversive fairy tale is set in a kingdom whose palace is made entirely of glass and whose inhabitants scorn dirt and untidiness. The kingdom was once home to a red-haired fairy named Bloom, whose magic could “spin sand into glass, turn weeds into blossoms, and grow a trickle of rainwater into a racing river.” But Bloom’s heavy steps and muddy footprints drew complaints, and she retired, exasperated, to the forest. Now, the king’s beautiful glass castle leaks, and everything else is “held together by tape, glue, and peasants.” Small’s (Glamourpuss) witty ink-and-wash drawings follow the king and queen as they enter the forest to search for the powerful fairy, but they refuse to believe that Bloom and the bucket of mud she proffers is the creature they seek. They dispatch their sweet servant girl Genevieve to locate her instead. Bloom questions Genevieve closely: “Why would the king and queen send a delicate child... to do something they could not?” she asks. “Because I am ordinary,” Genevieve confesses. Outraged that any girl would value herself so lightly, Bloom immediately begins Genevieve’s training in “magic” - up to their elbows in mud, the two make bricks and build a house. When Genevieve returns to the kingdom armed with new knowledge and spattered with mud, she thunders, “I am here!” Cronin (the Click, Clack, Moo books) juggles thematic elements with grace, mixing fairy-tale parody with maker tale and girl-power story to celebrate mess, chaos, and big plans. When seen up close, Cronin suggests, fairy-tale “magic” might really be no more than the willingness to get one’s hands dirty.
School Library Journal *Starred Review*
Though her outward appearance is chock-full of dirt,the fairy Bloom is delightfully talented. Underappreciated and misunderstood,she retreats into the wilderness. Without Bloom’s magical touch, her kingdomfalls into disarray, “held together by duct tape, glue, and peasants.” Thoughthe king and then the queen search for answers to fix their kingdom (“I amlooking for a magical creature, gone so many years ago”), they are too haughtyto understand the sprite’s message when she places mud at their feet. Aseemingly ordinary girl named Genevieve, whose only job in the kingdom is tocarry the queen’s delicate, unbreakable spoon, is next sent in their stead.Though initially puzzled by Bloom’s mannerisms, Genevieve learns from the fairyand develops the skills she needs to rebuild her kingdom Bloom’s inspiringoutlook (“Tell them there is no such thing as an ordinary girl”) paves the wayfor Genevieve to return home. Humor is laced throughout the charming narrative,highlighted through Genevieve’s dramatic growth and the expressive ink andwatercolor illustrations. Wavy, thin lines accentuate the ebb and flow ofBloom’s magical world. Changing typography emphasizes key ideas and naturalpauses within the story line. VERDICT This engaging, empoweringtale proves the future of happily ever after is in one own’s hands, regardlessof how much dirt they may have on them. |
