The Cat from Hunger Mountain

(2) K-3 Young's original fable about a wasteful "wealthy lord"--rendered as an anthropomorphized cat--depicts its protagonist's greed, his fall from power, and his eventual redemption. Colorful, richly textured mixed-media collages (made from fabrics, string, handmade paper, etc.) in deep hues evoke Lord Cat's life of luxury; in contrast, barren landscapes in neutral tones under a stark white sky depict the famine.
