Faced with moving away from his beloved river in the country,
Martin discovers it is possible to make a meaningful connection to
nature in the city, too, and find ways to accept changes beyond his
control. Martin loves to play by the river near his house. He
watches the great blue herons and looks for crayfish and otters. He
builds forts and lies in the tall grass near the water. But one day
Martin’s parents tell him they have to move away, to the
city. The family spend a day in the city, exploring their
future home. Martin rides the subway, visits the market, explores
the museum and watches a street performer, but none of the city’s
charms can compare with the river. Then his parents show him a
small stream running through the park, and Martin senses something
familiar in the air. When moving day arrives, Martin fills a
small glass jar with river water as a keepsake. And when he returns
to the stream, he discovers that his connection to nature can be
just as wondrous in the city. This poetic story looks at the
special relationship between an imaginative child and the natural
world, and explores how that connection can be nurtured and
recreated in a new place. Key Text Features dialogue illustrations
vignettes Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English
