Description

A tender and beautifully illustrated tale of a boy and his bird-watching uncle, on a paddling trip on Australia's Glenelg River. A story about slowing down, growing up, and connecting with the land and its creatures. 'All children need an Uncle Egg to open up the magical world of nature. We all need to get outside, away from television, computers and mobile phones, and what better way than a canoeing-camping trip? This is a delightful story about the joy of the outdoors.' - DAVID SUZUKI 'Rivertime is a quirky, charming immersion into the life of a waterway and into the life-lessons a river can teach.' - MAYA WARD (author of The Comfort of Water)
