The River
Sally Morgan, Johnny Warrkatja Malibirr
Another simple, universal story from Sally Morgan – this time a beautifully illustrated celebration of the life of the river. The River takes the reader on a journey of what their eyes can see and their ears can hear. See green ants crawling, hear frogs croaking, a goanna running, a fish splashing… Sally Morgan’s beautiful words and Johnny Warrkatja Malibirr’s sensitive artwork combine to make this a unique, distinctive children’s picture book with global appeal. Johnny infuses his illustrations with his fine-art aesthetic and his traditional motifs to bring each page to vivid life.
...a great edition to early cultural studies programs... The River teaches us how the wonder of the natural world surrounds us.
...ideal for young children and beginning readers. It is interactive and engages their senses.
Lilting lesson on river life...This will be top of the bedtime reading pile.
