"The book is reminiscent of an artist's diary, with type that has a handwritten feel and artwork that is fully fleshed out interspersed with simple pencil sketches. The beautiful, softly colored illustrations offer plenty of details and asides that invite readers to further explore the pages. Strategically placed questions offer even more opportunities for readers to get immersed in the book--and to come away with a better understanding of the complexity and importance of a river in our shared world. Readers may never look at a river the same way again." STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus, A Washington Post Best Children's Book of 2021 "This beautiful book, originally published in Sweden, celebrates all the ways rivers work, including as refreshment, as a home for animals and as a source of energy. Along with essential facts about nature, the author-illustrator delves into the historical and emotional connections shaped by these waterways." --Washington Post, "The curious little girl narrator and her grandmother while away time at a riverbank in Vaicenaviciene's dreamy look at rivers and their significance to the world, in this picture book for older readers translated from Swedish. Grandma embroiders a tablecloth, and the girl collects flowers, when she asks, "What is a river?" The answers, one per double-page spread, explain many aspects of rivers, not only in the context of their features but also in a way that emphasizes our interconnectedness with nature. A river is a thread connecting people and places, says Grandma; a journey, a home, and much more. Each minilesson explains facts about rivers--for example, how deltas are created, which animals are nourished by the waterways, and how ancient Greeks thought that the world was encircled by one great river. These facts are beautifully illustrated and complemented by multimedia paintings and drawings, rendered in plenty of exquisite blues, of people, animals, plants, and more that sustain and are sustained by rivers. A book that can create a bedtime reverie and be used for nature study is a lovely find." --STARRED REVIEW, Booklist, Included in American Scientist's 2021 Holiday Gift Guide "'[The river] has hidden depths beneath its surface. Just like people,' observes the little girl who narrates this poetic children's book. Its title, What Is a River?, is a question she asks her grandma, [who] gives an appropriately meandering and deep answer as she embroiders a tablecloth, which is a metaphor for the theme of interconnectedness emphasized in the book. Her answer is made up of a lovely balance of facts and metaphors, accompanied by pencil and mixed-media illustrations. A river is a thread connecting people across space and time, a journey, a home to all sorts of living things, a refreshment, a name, a meeting place, a mystery, a history, a smell, depth, energy, a reflection of humanity, a connection, a flow, and a story constantly being written. No one definition or metaphor can fully describe a river. But by the end of the book, a child reading it has a sense of what a river is, not just physically or geographically, but also in essence--emotionally, culturally, and historically... The layout of What Is a River? makes it possible for readers to take quick dips as they turn the pages, or to dive deeper into the many tributaries and pools that the narrator and her grandma explore as they journey through this reverie." --American Scientist, A Marginalian (formerly Brain Pickings ) Best Children's Book of 2021 " What Is a River? [is] part prose poem and part encyclopedia, exploring the many things a river is and can be, ecologically and existentially... The narrative weaves in the encyclopedic--geology and history, curious statistics about famous rivers--but fact and feeling remain entwined in the poetic." --Maria Popova, The Marginalian (formerly Brain Pickings ), " What Is a River? [is] part prose poem and part encyclopedia, exploring the many things a river is and can be, ecologically and existentially... The narrative weaves in the encyclopedic--geology and history, curious statistics about famous rivers--but fact and feeling remain entwined in the poetic." --Maria Popova, Brain Pickings, "The book is reminiscent of an artist's diary, with type that has a handwritten feel and artwork that is fully fleshed out interspersed with simple pencil sketches.

Synopsis
What Is a River? approaches the inquiry at its heart from all sides and angles, creating a richly imagined story woven of many answers, rather than a single explanation. A river is a thread, a home, a mystery, a name. This beautifully illustrated nonfiction picture book gives space to answers both conceptual and factual., What is a river? It's water, the source of life. It's also a journey, visiting mountains, cities, and oceans. It's a home; it's shelter. It's energy, giving away its force to humans for power and industry. It's a meeting place; a memory; a place to wash, to find food, to dream; it's a word. Such is a river., A Washington Post Best Children's Book of 2021 A Marginalian (formerly Brain Pickings ) Loveliest Children's Book of 2021 Shortlisted for the 2023 Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis (German Childrens Literature Award) "What is a river?" an inquisitive young girl asks her grandmother as the pair sits together on the river's banks. Like many questions posed by curious children, this one is deceptively simple in its asking. Yet, its answer spans the very world itself: geography and history, science and religion, industry and environmentalism. Through author-illustrator Monika Vaicenaviciene's eyes, the river becomes a vessel for enormous complexity, a lens through which the interconnectedness of our shared earth can be understood., Age range 3 to 6 A river is a thread, embroidering our world. This non-fiction picture book brings attention to the rivers that stitch and thread our world together. What is a river? It's water, the source of life. It's also a journey, visiting mountains, cities, and oceans. It's a home, it's shelter. It's energy, giving away its force to humans for power and industry. It's a meeting place, a memory, a place to wash, to find food, to dream; it's a word. Such is a river.

    This book arrived today and could have been packaged a bit better. The vinyl shipping envelope did not protect this book from marring, damaged book corners and cover sleeve damage. The mailer was also torn. Perhaps wrapping the book in a cardboard cover will have prevented the damaged to the product inside. Would not have added anymore shipping cost of USPS Bound Printed Matter. Needs improvement in shipping. I got a good decent copy as opposed to New. The price was fair for what I receive.
