A River by Marc Martin
There's a river outside my window. Where will it take me? So begins the imaginary journey of a child inspired by the view outside her bedroom window: a vast river winding through a towering city. A small boat with a single white sail floats down the river and takes her from factories to farmlands, freeways to forests, out to the stormy and teeming depths of the ocean, and finally back to the comforts--and inspirations--of home. This lush, immersive book by award-winning picture book creator Marc Martin will delight readers of all ages by taking them on a transcendent and aspirational journey through an imaginative landscape.
Marc Martin is an award-winning artist, illustrator, and author. He is the creator of A Forest, Everything & Everywhere and the New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year A River, among others. In a world of climate change and human encroachment on the natural world, he says, better understanding the creatures with whom we share the earth--even when we can't easily see them--is critical. Finding animals, learning about them, and understanding why they hide from predators like us is essential to caring for the planet in today's world. Marc Martin lives in Melbourne, Australia.
