Have you ever lingered on a riverbank watching the water flow, and wondered where it comes from or where it might be going?

Embark on a never-ending voyage in which young readers explore some very old questions—questions so old that they have stories for answers. This mesmerizing journey through mountain springs to vast oceans, from rivers in the sky to streams within our own bodies, guides readers through reflections on nature, life, and our place within it.

Written by bestselling nature writer Amy-Jane Beer, this enchanting book spirals through time and space to remind us that water is more than just a resource—it is part of who we are.
