Mud on your Face is a fantasy, adventure story for children, taking the reader through an adventure of 'what ifs'. What if you got what you wished for? Would you be happy? There is a morale around being content with what you have, and finding happiness.
"This is a very home-centric story that aims to reinforce the importance of family, while teaching children to look beyond the squabbles and quirks to realize that their parents and siblings love them unconditionally," explains McGrath. "The ultimate message is for them to embrace and love what they already have, even if they think they want something different."
