A River Running Through You
This awe-inducing ecological meditation in picture book form invites readers on a “never-ending journey through time and space.” Its ethereal, luxuriant illustrations overlay ghostly images of trees and people atop verdant landscapes and busy seascapes, vivifying the science and nature facts that flow through them. Information about how salt water represents billions of years of mineral-gathering across the world, about water cycles, and about how people settle where the waters go is shared to induce a sense of environmental interresponsibility in all people, who are the “many times great-grandchild[ren] of a fish” that the river “once knew.”
