A river can be a story, a riddle, a path, a thread . . . In this book, a boy and his grandmother take a trip that's both scientific and literary, symbolic and historical, through the rivers of the world. Each two-page spread, full of beautiful and poetic images, reveals what these bodies of water represent for human welfare and the ecology of the planet; their sources and the history of their names; who lives in them and from them; and what happens when they run dry or we run them dry. With its hybrid between a picture book and a science book, it will be enjoyed by children and adults, scientists and readers; teachers and librarians and children's book experts. It's both a reference text and a bedtime story.
