When her grandmother announces that she will soon go underground with the mole, Yuku wants to give her a special parting gift: the so-called Flower of the Himalayas, which grows on a sun-soaked peak. On her adventurous way she makes acquaintance with numerous animals of the forest. Some are kind to her, such as the rabbit and the squirrel, but she must beware of other predators, such as the fox or the wolf. Fortunately, Yuku always has her ukulele with her and knows many fabulous songs. As a result, even cats, the natural enemies of mice, can’t escape her spell.
