Life-affirming and lyrical, this beautiful picture book celebrates the
awesome power of nature and the circle of life.
Over the course of a year, a young child and their dog watch kingfishers
by the river with Grandpa. As spring turns to summer and autumn to
winter, the kingfishers raise a family, while Grandpa teaches his
grandchild about the power of nature and the circle of life.
Written in memory of her father, whose favorite bird was the kingfisher,
Anna Wilson takes readers on a lyrical journey though a year in the
life of a kingfisher family. Stunning illustrations by Sarah Massini
bring the riverbank to life in all its glory, while the powerful,
intergenerational bond between grandparent and grandchild shows that
just as spring always follows winter, hope will always return if you
know where to look for it.
A positive story about life, death, and being a part of the natural
world.
