Inspired by this beautiful and brilliant book

Amazing Rivers show how and why rivers are important

Rivers provide food for humans and other animals

They power and support industry and agriculture

They facilitate travel for people and cargo

The book teaches children about why we need to protect and preserve rivers

They are threatened by growing populations, climate change, industry, construction and pollution

There is something for everyone to be inspired by in this book

Even rivers on Mars (spotted by William!)

This is a book to help children learn to fall in love with the natural world

It is only once we know something and feel a connection with something

That we want to protect it and take action to preserve it
