Books like A river by Marc Martin


In this vivid journey, a child’s imagination transforms a familiar river into an endless adventure. From the city’s towering factories to serene farmlands, winding freeways to dense forests, the river’s course carries the boat to teeming ocean depths. Finally, the voyage circles back to the comforting sights that first inspired it—her own bedroom window. The story highlights the power of imagination, the relationship between children and the environment, and the natural beauty of rivers.
