Time Runs Like a River - Hardcover

by Emma Carlisle (Author), Emma Carlisle (Illustrator)

Time runs like a river: never resting, moving steadily on. But if we notice how different each minute can be, we can appreciate them before they're gone.

Rivers can be fast-flowing or still, raging or calm, just like us. This lyrical picture book from award-winning artist Emma Carlisle explores the concepts of time and change through the ebb and flow of a river.

From the fleeting flash of a kingfisher to the slow grinding of pebbles into sand, this beautiful book encourages readers to notice the big and small things happening in nature, as well as reflect on things that have come and gone and those yet to be enjoyed.
