Books (HB) - Where the River Runs Free by Vikki Conley and Jedda Robaard

Description

The story follows Maya and Johnny on a walking adventure around the river, where they see butterflies, ducks, native birds (including the beautiful Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo), tadpoles and more. Conley’s clever use of alliteration and word repetition gives the book a songlike quality, while Robaard’s whimsical illustrations create a sweet and playful mood, especially in the mesmerising way she captures sunlight on the page.
