It's cool
A gorgeous picture book which helps to inspire young writers with it's beautiful illustrations of different locations in a circular narrative.
Art-filled story about a girl's imagination
Yes - a fantastic hook for writing a story - where will your river take you? This provided inspiration for story writing in Year 2 - the river can go anywhere!
The beautiful illustrations also inspired creative artwork to illustrate their stories which the children took great delight in reading to their peers.
I cannot recommend this book enough for inspiring imaginative story writing
