This richly illustrated concertina book takes the reader from the
top of a mountain spring, through varying landscapes, and follows a
river's journey from its source to the sea. With a focus on the
important role waterways play in human and environmental survival,
The River That Flows Beside Me explores the changing landscapes
along a river's journey and the habits and ecosystems that call the
river their home. A follow-up to The Street Beneath My Feet, The
Skies Above My Eyes, and The Sea Below My Toes, this visually
stunning book finds the river in the rocky peaks, and tracks it as
it winds its way through coniferous forest, gushes through v-shaped
valleys, and roars down magnificent waterfalls. Further downstream,
readers will journey with the river past beaver dams, floodplains,
oxbow lakes, paddle-boarders, bridges, and more. On your journey,
meet the animals that call the river home, including: White-tailed
deer Grizzly bears Otter Smallmouth bass Dragonflies With a primary
focus on the river's ecosystems, wildlife, and geological
processesThe River That Flows Beside Me also explores the way that
humans interact with the river landscape, using it both to survive
and also to enjoy. The beauty and variety of river landscapes are
bought to life by Jo Empson's rich illustrations. This book is part
of the Look Closer series, a set of concertina books that help
teach us about the mysteries and wonders that are found in the
world around us.
