What is The River An Epic Journey to the Sea about?

A little fish begins an exciting journey from the snowy mountains to the sea. As she follows the winding river, she travels through forests, meadows and open countryside, meeting animals and discovering how the landscape changes around her. Through rushing rapids and quiet waters, she keeps swimming towards the unknown. Told in gentle, lyrical verse, this picture book follows the fish’s adventurous voyage and shows how a river connects the natural world from its source to the ocean.
