Time Runs Like a River

Author: Emma Carlisle

This picture book for ages 3-7 tells the story of a river as a primary metaphor for the passage of time. It highlights how a river can be fast or still, raging or calm, just like people. Similarly, all living things in and around the river grow and change over time. It encourages the reader to both reflect on things that have passed, as well as to embrace those things yet to be experienced. The end includes information about the river ecosystem, as well as a list of multi-sensory activities to learn about the ever-changing nature of nature.
