There is a river outside my window.
Where will it take me?
So begins an imaginary journey from the city to the sea. From factories to farmlands, freeways to forest, each new landscape is explored through stunning illustrations and poetic text from this award-winning picture-book creator.
A picture book which follows a river from the city to the sea, by factories, farmland, freeways and forests. From the award-winning author and illustrator of "Max, Exotic Animal's A-Z" and "A Forest". Ages: 5+
Worlds become real in this sumptuous offering from Marc Martin, an award-winning Australian illustrator, which will be enjoyed by the under fives as well as their parents.
Martin's immersive illustrations in A River evoke diverse textures in stylish ochre tones, with storms conjured by splashes of watery ink, and waves smeared across the page like paint.
The book's greatest delight lies in its visual details, which will thrill animal-lovers: dancing horses and powwowing pigs in the fields, stray cats stalking the city streets, and a jungle of tigers, monkeys, butterflies and birds, who morph into bright white eyes as night falls.
