The River

*CBCA 2022 Notable Book: Early childhood* *Longlisted for the ABIA Book Awards 2022: Small Publishers' Children's Book of the Year* Age range 3 to 6 Another simple, universal story from Sally Morgan - this time a beautifully illustrated celebration of the life of the river. The River takes the reader on a journey of what their eyes can see and their ears can hear. See geen ants crawling, hear frogs croaking, a goanna running, a fish splashing... Sally Morgan's beautiful words and Johnny Warrkatja Malibirr's sensitive artwork combine to make this a unique, distinctive children's picture book with global appeal. Johnny infuses his illustrations with his fine-art aesthetic and his traditional motifs to bring each page to vivid life
