What Is A River?

Age range 3 to 6

A river is a thread, embroidering our world. This non-fiction picture book brings attention to the rivers that stitch and thread our world together.

What is a river? It’s water, the source of life. It’s also a journey, visiting mountains, cities, and oceans. It’s a home, it’s shelter. It’s energy, giving away its force to humans for power and industry. It’s a meeting place, a memory, a place to wash, to find food, to dream; it’s a word. Such is a river.
