Synopsis

In this quintessential Joy Cowley story, Cam follows the river’s journey from its source in the mountains all the way to the sea.

In this resonant story from Joy Cowley, Cam the mountain boy follows the river from its trickling source in the snow all the way to the sea.

The river leads him through forest, farms and towns to the salty<br />wind of the sea. The dramatic landscapes are packed with detail to discover in the world of the river.

“With graceful, rhyming poetry, Cowley articulates the connectedness of nature, while Andrews renders the rush and earnestness of the boy’s journey through striated light, city smoke, and the broad, blue sea.” - <span class="a-text-bold">Publishers Weekly (US)</span>

"Cowley’s beautiful, melodic story—brimming with atmosphere and descriptive power—is exquisitely brought to life by illustrator Kimberly Andrews’ dramatic evocation of a wonderfully contrasting North American landscape." -<span class="a-text-bold"> Lancashire Post (UK)</span>
